Summer Workshop List Of Interest: Women's Safety & Self-Defense


 

Hello members,

Since 2019, I have been running a free youth dance and street safety series across various communities. This Summer, I felt it was incredibly important to host 1 session specifically for our adult members. With the recent community celebrations, I've noticed that theft and unwanted contact have become common concerns. Whether you are traveling, heading to the cottage, or just enjoying long outdoor evenings this season, your safety and awareness matter.

I am putting together a list for a beginner-friendly, 1.5-hour workshop designed to teach you practical, real-world personal safety skills. Coach Jason will guide us through easy-to-learn techniques, escapes, and situational awareness skills. You will get hands-on practice, learn de-escalation strategies, and have the chance to ask questions.

We will proceed with the date that has the most interest

  • Monday, July 13 | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

  • Friday, July 17 | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

  • Saturday, July 25 | 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

Flat fee: $50 for one 1.5hr workshop
Size:
14 participants (Minimum 8 required to run)
Where: 
Swansea Town Hall (Runnymede/Bloor)
While it is for women and girls, the instructor is a man and I will be present.

How To Register

Please contact me with the date that you prefer OR if multiple dates work for you, please mention them. Once we have the best date and reach an 8-participant minimum by July 8, I will send out a registration and payment link to those on the list.
