Spring 2019 YOUR ONE STOP SHOP FOR LEARNING IN DRUMHELLER!
The Drumheller Community Learning Society has been
providing non-credit adult learning opportunities for over
40 years! The classes are stimulating and fun, presented
by qualified independent instructors who enjoy introducing
others to their subjects.
The board membership is comprised of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers from throughout the Drumheller
area. As a council we desire to offer any course that you want for enjoyment or need for self-improvement. The
classes in this brochure are a sampling of what is available. Feel free to pass on any suggestions for additional
courses.
The Drumheller Community Learning Society is one of over 80 Community Adult Learning Councils in Alberta who
receive funding from Alberta Advanced Education & Technology, Community Programs Branch. Visit the provincial
website at http://www.communitylearning.info.
