Local mediators are marking Conflict Resolution Week (Oct. 12-18) with free events at the White Rock Library and the White Rock Community Centre.
An information booth is to be set up at the community centre (15154 Russell Ave.) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday (Oct. 14); from 1:30-4 p.m. on Wednesday (Oct. 15); and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. next Thursday (Oct. 16).
On Saturday, Oct. 18, a panel discussion featuring three local mediators will be held at the library (15342 Buena Vista Ave.) from 10 a.m. to noon.
Mediation is touted as an alternative to resolving disputes that is quicker and less costly than going to court.
