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."
