Monthly Meetings

Our meetings are held every month with the exception of July, August and December.  Our Annual General Meeting is held along with our regular meeting in November.  The meetings are held at 2:00 p.m. on the fourth Sunday of each month.  They alternate between the Four Corners Branch of the Brampton Public Library at 65 Queen Street East (near the Peel Archives) and the Oakville Public Library, 120 Navy Street, Oakville, Ontario.  Visitors are always welcome.

Note:  Brampton library parking – there is limited library parking on the east and west sides of the library.  On Sundays there is also on-street parking behind the library.  There is free underground parking at Brampton City Hall (two blocks west) entrance from George Street — after parking take the elevator to the main floor, exit to and cross Main Street and walk one block down John Street (next to the church) to the library.
