Meetings & Events – 2022

So far the regular “meeting schedule” for 2022 will be devoted to a virtual format necessitated by pandemic restrictions. For the moment the Quinte Branch is continuing the practice of holding “virtual meetings” in order to comply with health and safety guidelines regarding “social distancing”. A gradual move to a “hybrid” format involving both “in-person” and “remote access” components is being developed. Registration through the links provided in the website announcements or the MailChimp newsletters is necessary. Normally the meeting starts at 1:00 pm and lasts for a couple of hours. The first hour is the presentation itself and the second hour is devoted to questions and issues of importance to family historians attending.
