      Learn a New Skill at the How To Festival

      by Bryce Crittenden June 10, 2022

      EPL invites you to join us both in-person and online from Monday, June 20 to Thursday, June 23 for the How To Festival.

      What will you learn? 

      We'll have a range of sessions, from hands-on DIY to in-depth conversations that could change the way you see the world.   

      Why do we think a How To Festival is a great fit for Edmonton? Because we know that there are so many talented people in YEG, and we want to give them a chance to share their know-how. Sharing is our motto after all! We have a number of experts, both from our wonderful community and our own multi-talented staff.  Find a class below that works best for you.
