Thank you to our community members for letting us know that our website calendar was not correct.
After some investigation, it appears that the plugin we use to run our calendar is currently broken. While the plugin still displays our calendar, it is currently impossible to edit the calendar for any changes. We will do some further investigation to find a more permanent solution, but in the meantime, we will keep you updated via our Facebook page, the main page of our website and via the E-News.
