Once a week for an hour and a half on Tuesdays in PAS 1056 for 8 weeks.
Everybody is more than welcome to come and learn.

Answer 2

Just a heads up - if you are planning on learning sign language - drop the "dumb" part, it's derogatory. Deaf works just fine :) I live in Toronto and took my first sign language courses at CHS, I believe there is an office in waterloo that offers classes. Good luck :)
