The information session will run from 9:30 to 11 a.m., followed by a question and answer session until noon, at the Wachiay Friendship Centre at 1625B McPhee Ave. in Courtenay.
Staff from the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres — Aboriginal Gaming Support Program will be presenting during the session, which is being presented with financial support from the provincial government.
