Hello and Happy Friday

Was this the first time the Code4Lib BC Spring Workshops was been posted
to the CODE4LIB list server?
I'm inquiring as I like to go the workshops in Vancouver as they are not
to far to travel from Prince George.
Might I have missed the post for this earlier or is there another place I
should be checking for up and coming events in the Vancouver or Western
Canada area.

Thank-you
