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."

Diana Gunstone - Community Development: connecting during COVID at the neighbourhood level.
Jan. 14, 2021
Diana will share an overview of her current role as a community builder, and recent inspiring community initiatives that have taken place in Squamish this past Fall and through the Holiday Season. She will also share her presentation time with her colleague Dylan Cohen, a community engagement specialist with United Way who can speak more to the broader "Hi Neighbour" program, and future plans for Squamish. Diana Gunstone – Bio 2021… Where to begin? Born in Montreal, I grew up on the South Shore, and our family of 7 moved to Ontario during the 80’s. I studied commerce at Queens and Carleton U, graduating with honours in Marketing before social media was even thought of! A corporate career in Healthcare and Information Technology introduced me to the mountains of the West Coast, where I relocated in 89 to North Vancouver. Volunteering led me to study project management, mountain biking friends, and… my husband! Together we are grateful to live, work and play on the traditional unceded territory of the Squamish Nation, since 98. In 2004 I became a Project Management Professional and soon after grew our family through adoption in 2007 - my greatest project ever! Following my parental leave, I shifted my career focus, and embraced my new role as a full time Mom and part-time volunteer coordinator at Whistler Olympic Park. After 13 years of growing our son, volunteering with SNN, Sea to Sky Nordics, Whistler Olympic Park and on various PAC and community project teams, my project management career is now focused on non-profits. I am grateful to have the privilege to lead interesting community centred part-time projects, and currently delighted to work with United Way of the Lower Mainland as a community builder here in Squamish. |
