Activities
Tuesday Program
The Tuesday Program Committee designs the content and arranges for the presenters at the Club’s weekly Tuesday evening program sessions.
Planning for next season generally starts in late spring with a discussion on appropriate subject balance, identifying potential speakers and striving for a balance between external speakers, member presentations and regular features such as Competitions, Inter-Club evenings, and special Showcases.
Once a draft Program Calendar has been developed, individual Team members take the lead on contacting external speakers or coordinating member presentations. The Committee generally meets about three or four times a year. Much of its work is done through email exchanges between meetings.
Club members are encouraged to provide suggestions for topics and speakers to Committee members at any time of the year.

Education
The Education Committee develops and runs presentations, seminars, and workshops with the intent of informing and inspiring Club members to develop their photography skills. The aim is to provide access to a wide variety of learning opportunities from beginner to advanced level photographers. In recent years topics have ranged from essential photography skills, such as exposure and focusing, to specialized tools and techniques, such as astrophotography, post-processing workflow, or lighting a still life.
Club members can check the Event Sign-up page (click here). Upcoming presentations, seminars, and workshops are also announced at the regular Tuesday evening meetings.
Usually, the presentations and workshops are delivered by club member volunteers who have specific areas of photographic expertise; sometimes external presenters are invited to share their knowledge. For most presentations and workshops, no fees are charged except in cases where there needs to be cost recovery for materials, such as a workshop on mat cutting, for example. Most presentations, seminars, and workshops run for an hour or two, with some extending to a half day or whole day events. There is usually at least one presentation, seminar, or workshop each month from October to May.

Social
The Social Committee acts as a welcoming committee to Club members and visitors at the regular Tuesday meetings. They organize occasional flea markets throughout the year.
The team also organizes two major events: the Christmas Party and the Annual Awards Banquet.
The Christmas Party is an informal, fun evening which includes door prizes, “humour” and “best shot” competitions.
The Annual Awards Banquet is held at the end of the regular Club season in May. It includes the presentation of both photographic and volunteer awards, and some fun activities.
