Room Change – June 6, 2025 KSCCC Meeting

Mlacak Centre Closure – June 2 – August 31, 2025

The Mlacak Centre is having its roof replaced. This construction work will affect all parts of the building other than the Seniors’ Centre and the Beaverbrook Library. There will be no public access to the parts of the building where the work is being done.

This means that the KSCCC Monthly Meeting cannot be held in the usual rooms, Halls C & D.

Instead, we will be meeting in the Owen Prince room, which is down the hall to the left of the main doors of the Seniors’ Centre.

This room is smaller than our usual meeting room, with a maximum capacity of 48 people. Because of the room capacity limits, we would ask that you do not bring any guests to the June 2025 KSCCC meeting.

We will be returning to our usual meeting rooms starting in September 2025, once construction work has been completed.

Here are a few different ways to create a Triptych for those of you who want to submit (up to 3 allowed):

  1. Photoshop Elements Creating a Triptych
  2. Frame Tool in Photoshop
  3. Crop Tool in Photoshop (works in very old photoshop as well)

Also, when you submit your triptych, please indicate if you would like to talk about one at the meeting (similar to how we do the Monthly Review of photos).

Happy World Backup Day!

March 31st is World Backup Day!

Computer storage fails. Devices are stolen. Natural and man-made disasters occur. Malware encrypts data.

We all need backup routines in place to protect our valuable image files — routines that follow the 3-2-1 backup rule:

  • 3 copies of everything
  • 2 different media
  • 1 copy stored off-site

In case you need help with improving your backup routine, talk to the folks at our help table at the back of the room during the next mid-meeting break.

If you need more detailed help, book a session with the Kanata Seniors Council tech tutors who can help with Windows, Apple, & Android backup solutions.
