SPRING 2021
WEBINAR SCHEDULE
In response to the physical distancing restrictions SWC is offering webinars through the
Webex Events platform. You can “attend” these webinars from your home, using your
computer or mobile device. If you don't have a reliable internet connection, you have the
option to call in and listen to the webinar on your phone.
Sign up through the form on our website (scroll down to the bottom of the page and be sure to
fill out each section): scarboroughwomenscentre.ca/workshops/. We will send you the link and
password along with the call-in information if you would rather listen on your phone. You can
also register by calling 416-439-7111 x 7 (or 107).
Please note that you need a current email address, that is regularly checked, in order to sign
up for SWC webinars. After the webinar you will be asked by email to complete a brief online
evaluation.
REAL-TIME CAPTIONING IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SWC WEBINARS!
Real-time captioning will be provided at SWC webinars BY REQUEST as part of our ongoing
commitment to promote greater accessibility and inclusion at Scarborough Women’s Centre
(SWC).
What is real-time captioning?
Real-time captioning ensures everything that is said during a webinar is converted into live
captions that are displayed on participants’ computer screens. A full transcript of the captions
is then provided to Scarborough Women’s Centre (SWC).
How to Request real-time captioning at SWC?
Please register for our webinars as soon as possible and let us know that you would like
real-time captioning when you register.
If you are registering online, please indicate on the contact form that you would like real-time
captioning. If you are registering by phone, please let the person that you are talking to know
that you would like real-time captioning.
Note: A minimum of TWO WEEKS notice is needed to secure real-time captioning. This is
because captioning service providers have seen an increase demand for service during the
COVID-19 pandemic and may be unable to fulfill last minute requests.
Please contact Melissa Simas by email: program@scarboroughwomenscentre.ca or phone:
416-439-7111 x 3, if you have any questions.
