Welcome to the South Saskatchewan Woodturners Guild
The South Saskatchewan Woodturners Guild meets on the third Tuesday of every month. We do take a summer break July & August. While meetings generally begin at 7:00 p.m. St Mary’s Parish Basement Hall, 2020 Winnipeg St. (just north of the St. Mary’s Church) meetings occasionally are held at other locations.
In order to accommodate our out of town members, those who are ill or can’t come to the meetings for other reasons, our in person meetings are also available on Zoom, check your emails for more information or email SSWGuild@gmail.com.
