Our world is changing, and so are we! In order to keep participants and instructors safe, we have had to make changes in the way we offer our programs. Programs in June will be delivered in one of two ways. This guide contains both a combination of webbased courses (ZOOM) and in-person outdoor classes (Forrest Field or FJCC). Pick one that works for you and your comfort zone.

Frequently Asked Questions: What equipment do I need for class?

None of the virtual programs will require the use of specific equipment.

What can I expect when I participate in a LIVE virtual group class from my home?

We recommend you create a space that is clear of any safety or tripping hazards, and with enough space to move around freely.

What technology do I need to participate in the class?

All you need is a computer or device with Internet access.

Do I have to have a camera or webcam to participate?

We respect your privacy and understand that the use of a camera or webcam may make some individuals feel uncomforable. The use of a camera is not a requirement for participation in a class and you will still be able to see the instructor on your screen. When using Zoom, you will have the option to turn your camera on or off at any time.

What platform are you using to host online live classes?

All virtual classes will be hosted on ZOOM - a secure video conferencing platform. Visit the Zoom website to learn more.

Do I need a Zoom account to participate?

No, a Zoom account is not required but you will need to download the Zoom software for your computer or app on your mobile device.

How do I join the live virtual program via Zoom?

Once your registration is complete through our registration system (reccowichan.ca), you will receive an email registration confirmation. This is important to keep for your records because the URL link for the virtual class in Zoom is in this confirmation. Please give yourself additional time to work out any troubleshooting issues before the class begins. Click here to watch a video on how to join a Zoom meeting.

What if I have other troubleshooting issues that the instructor can’t help me with?

Please visit http://support.zoom.us for more information.

Can I have a friend do the class with me?
