I know the NFB migration training I sat through did highly encourage using google calendars as it looks like you are using based on your email. All my research indicates creating google reoccurring events is a pain, if possible, in Drupal 8. The two main suggestions I found were to either create the reoccurring event directly in google calendars and sync or import the event into Drupal. The second suggestion was to simply import the reoccurring event .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Some additional posts I found said it is possible, but again it depends on what modules and services the NFB national platform is making available to you.
