Langley residents can dive deep into philosophy through a thought-provoking discussion with other people intererested in weighty topics.
Organized by Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Third Age Learning at Kwantlen (TALK) group, the Pilosophers’ Corner discussions takes place on the first Thursday of each month.
Because of the COVID-related restriction, the monthly event has moved to an online model, where participants join a Zoom call, explained Kwantlen’s Janis Foster.
“You do not need to be over 50 years old or a member of TALK to attend [Philosopers’ Corner],” she said.
