Print cards at home
Not able to join in person? Print-at-home versions of each card are available for free here. Tips for best results:
Choose "actual size / 100% scale" in your printer options (avoid "fit to page")
Select landscape orientation
Once printed, fold the page in half horizontally (so the finished card is 5.5" x 8.5"). Use a ruler to create your fold line and get a clean crease

Atlantic Voice26:10Why friendship deserves the spotlight
Society pushes us to couple up; romcoms double down on that. But what if you put friendship front and centre - even to the point of buying a house with your BFF? Writers and thinkers Rhaina Cohen and francesca ekwuyasi explore those ideas with the CBC's Elamin Abdelmahmoud. This talk was recorded live at the Halifax Central Library as part of the Hear Me Out conversation series, a partnership between CBC Atlantic and the Halifax Public Libraries.
