All questions and levels of experience welcome. We can also help you determine which portable device or apps would be best suited for your specific needs.
Future group work sessions include:
- how to identify scams
- how to keep your personal information safe

Help us raise $8,000 on Giving Tuesday!
On December 3, 2024 we are partnering with six local businesses* (and counting) who will match donations from individuals in our community. Every dollar donated will be matched by a corporate sponsor up to $4,000!
Our Giving Tuesday campaign will help fund our services and programs which support those most vulnerable in Victoria – at-risk families and individuals of any age – who may be vulnerable, ill, isolated, and/or on low-income, and struggling with daily life.
Donate today: https://jbcp.bc.ca/donate/
Thank you for your consideration!
*If you are a local neighbourhood business that would like to participate in our Giving Tuesday matching campaign, please contact Elissa Bergman, our part-time fundraiser via email at fundraising@jbcp.bc.ca or call 250.388.7844, Ext. 340.
