This summer was a great one for Oakridge Sage Gatherings. Along with our new name and logo, we have a comprehensive list of things that the group will be doing from September through to January 2026. There will be lots more information and news in the coming months; watch for it under Sage Gatherings in the Echo monthly.
We have organized our presentation dates for the next four months; we are so fortunate to have great members who are willing to share their expertise or are connected to others who are very generous with their knowledge and time. Please join us for our presentations over the next months.
The September 3 presentation was given by Julia Chouj, Utilities Consumer Advocate. She educates Albertans on their utility options, including discussions on cost comparison tools, awareness of choices available, and informed decision making. This was such an informative talk all about how to save money related to our utility options.
