One way is to type "www.huronsuperiormetis.ca/community-calendar" into your web browser and hit enter. Alternatively, if you already have the Community Hub website open, you can simply click “EVENTS” at the top of any webpage to access the Community Calendar.
To open the Community Calendar’s “Add Event” form from your laptop or desktop computer, hover your cursor over the day on which the event takes place or begins and you will see a “+” icon appear. Click the “+” icon to open the “Add Event” form. If you are on a mobile device, click the three stacked lines to the left of the month and year. This will open a menu. Scroll to the bottom of the menu and click "Add Event".
To set the title for the event, navigate to the box under “Event Title”, click the box, and type the name of your event.
Now that you have set the “Event Title”, the next step is to select the day or days that the event takes place, whether this is an all day event or if the event has specific start and end times, as well as the time zone.
If your event is a single day event, with specific start and end times, uncheck the blue box to the left of “All Day Event”. Then, select the day that the event begins and ends, the start time, the end time, and the time zone. The time zone in the Huron-Superior area is “(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).”

To choose categories for your event, click “Choose Category” and select one or more categories.
Providing venue information is optional. There are four pieces of venue information that you can provide: venue name, venue phone number, venue email address, and venue website. To set any of these pieces of venue information, navigate to their respective input boxes within the “Venue” section of the “Add Event” form, click the box, and type the information.
In most cases, the event organizer is you. You have the option to provide your name, phone number, email address, and website. Make sure to at least provide your name and one method of contact, so people have a way to reach you when they have questions.
