Aug. 20, 2020 12:00 p.m.
Catherine McInnes – Bio A former elementary teacher with the Thames Valley Board of Education (1989 – 2009), and a former artistic director of Home County Music & Art Festival in London, Ontario (2005 – 2012), Catherine's recent work at the London Arts Council (2011 – 2019) combined her passion for arts education and community arts programming. In collaboration with the Ontario Arts Council and two local school boards, she developed a robust artists in the schools program. This project enabled the London Arts Council to leverage funding and expand community arts programming, which included youth mentorship programs with local professional artists, and the creation of an innovative program called Culture City (see https://www.londonarts.ca/culture-city-youth). The Culture City program is steeped in local cultural institutions and facilitated by local artists. Her last work involved coordinating new Arts in Health Care programs, collaborating with several community health care partners, including Parkwood Institute Mental Health Care, My Sisters' Place/CMHA Middlesex, McCormick Dementia Services, and a Healing Through the Arts project with Participation House, L'Arche London and Hutton House. With extensive experience as a professional musician, songwriter and music teacher, from 2010 – 2019, Catherine facilitated a community music program called Belong To Song for those with lived experience of mental illness, and directed a seniors choir at Meadow Park Long Term Care in London Ontario from 2015 - 2018. As a jazz singer, pianist and singer-songwriter, Catherine self-produced two recordings (2003 Alone Together & 2007 Exposed) and performed at many festivals, music venues and concert series in London, Ontario. For her presentation, Catherine will present an overview of community arts programs involving youth, seniors, and those living with mental illnesses; programs she developed, implemented and in some cases, facilitated, while working at the London Arts Council in London Ontario. |

Heather Mann: Squamish Just Recovery
Sep. 10, 2020 12:00 p.m.
Heather is a social scientist by training, motivated to support the transition to an economy that operates within social and planetary boundaries.
Inspired by Just Recovery movements around the world, she and her colleagues came together based on the belief that COVID-19 pandemic has put us at an inflection point; - we can either spend billions returning to a façade of "business as usual", a world of vast inequality and cascading ecological crises, or we can come together to shape a better future.
"In solidarity with national groups calling for a Just Recovery, we have outlined a set of principles to help guide Squamish's recovery efforts and to encourage our community to build back better. We're asking the District and the community to endorse these principles to support a just and resilient Squamish that works for everyone."

In 2014, Point was re-appointed as a provincial court judge, retiring from office on October 31, 2018. The University of British Columbia Board of Governors appointed the Honourable Steven Lewis Point to become the university’s 19th Chancellor effective July 1, 2020. He is the first Indigenous person to hold the position. Point is a double alumnus of UBC and has retained close ties with the university after receiving his Bachelor of Laws in 1985. He served as director of the First Nations Legal Studies program at the Peter A.

The W2R Project is an equal partnership between participating indigenous communities, Rotarians, Government House, and the volunteers of the Write to Read Team. It delivers books, libraries, computers, tablets & high speed Internet connections to remote First Nation communities in BC. Recognition & Awards:
