JO-ANN BURSEY SUSAN HICKS Indigenous women face higher rates of violence than any other cultural group in Canada and the United States. Indigenous families and communities have been advocating for generations to make changes to the colonial system that often treats the perpetrators of the violence with impunity. The REDress Project, a public art installation created by Canadian artist Jaime Black, works to create space for families of MMIWG (missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls) to tell their stories and to lend support in the struggle to protect their loved ones. The REDress Project is being shown at both Touchstones Nelson: Museum of Art and History, and the trees outside of Nelson City Hall, from February 27 to May 29, 2021. “Indigenous women are the heart of our cultures and communities across Turtle Island; for thousands of years women were at the centre of the circle, creating balance and harmony in our communities,” says Jaime Black in an artist statement. “Since the onset of colonization women and girls have been especially targeted as a way of breaking apart communities and erasing culture in an effort to assimilate Indigenous ways of being. The REDress Project calls in the spiritual power and presence of our ancestors, as well as the spirits of those who have gone missing or been murdered. The REDresses stand with us as we reclaim our circles, reclaim our voices and re-imagine what it means to move forward in a good way.” “Touchstones Nelson is proud to present this project, both in the public sphere and in our gallery space,” says Astrid Heyerdahl, executive director of Touchstones Nelson. “This The REDress Project comes to Nelson project is supported by our ongoing partnership with the West Kootenay Métis Society, community partners, and artist Jaime Black. Funding through the British Columbia Arts Council has made this project possible, and we thank the City of Nelson for permission to use city public space. “We hope that this important work will generate further conversations about the ongoing tragedy of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and the importance of meaningful Truth and Reconciliation,” Heyerdahl adds. Jaime Black’s work has been exhibited in several locations in Canada and the United States since its inception in 2011, including: The Manitoba Legislature, University of Ottawa, Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, and a permanent exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights. The exhibition discusses serious and upsetting subject matter, and may be triggering for some members of the community.

BC Rural Health Hub pilot is a go If Covid has taught us anything, it’s that we’re all in this together. And that what we know – and think we know – matters. This places a tremendous importance on communications. Not simply top-down, with information flowing from leaders and decision makers to citizens, but the other way ’round as well. This is called civic engagement — the process of empowering the voices of individual citizens in helping shape their communities. Covid has also reminded us that new and emerging technologies are now, officially, a fact of everyday life for many rural British Columbians. From Zoom gatherings with family and friends to virtual medical appointments with distant specialists; from sharing cat videos on Instagram to vitriolic posts on Facebook, daily life is rapidly becoming increasingly virtual — whether we like it or not. Given this, we asked a few simple questions. Is it possible to harness some of the virtues of technology, to empower rural citizens? Is there a way to provide rural folks with the ability to hold civil, respectful discussions on topics that truly matter to them? Can those conversations Search and Rescue Awards earned Like so many organizations, Kaslo Search and Rescue recently resorted to an online Christmas gathering to, well frankly, relax a little and celebrate the recognition of some members for outstanding contributions. For a region with a population of not much more than a thousand people, the local Search and Rescue agency did as many searches and rescues as Central Okanagan Search and Rescue did in 2019 which serves a region of 160,000 people. While 2020 moved at a frenetic pace it appears already as though 2021 is on track to increase the workload for the local volunteer group with 5 call outs already since January 30 2021. It is for this reason the organization is very thankful for the support of Angry Hen Brewing, Kaslo Building Supplies, Kaslo Pharmacy, Rally4Life and Stellar Heli-Skiing who have sponsored the awards for several years. The individuals recognized for the awards were: Robyn and Glen Skobalski, Kevin Connor, Chris Cullen, Jana Poborilova, Hayley Walker. NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS! CHIROPRACTIC - PHYSIOTHERAPY MASSAGE THERAPY - ACUPUNCTURE Same day appointments available 250.365.3365 1020 Columbia Ave, Castlegar www.kootenayintegrated.com of particular local or regional importance be limited to the folks most affected? And is there a way to ensure the good ideas and real concerns of rural communities are effectively shared with decision makers and other stakeholders? We decided to find out. Enter the BC Rural Health Hub pilot. The purpose of the pilot is to create and test a cloud-based interactive communications platform as a tool to increase citizen engagement in rural health and wellness discussions in a safe, supportive manner. The citizen voice is often absent from ongoing conversations regarding the health and wellness of rural/remote/First Nations British Columbians. This despite the fact that both rural citizens and health delivery groups/agencies have indicated they would like to see greater citizen participation and collaboration in rural health care discussions. Indeed, there are a number of very important and innovative rural health care initiatives currently underway that could benefit from an increased level of rural citizen input and engagement. The geography of rural BC is rugged, For volunteers to commit enough time to be trained to the pinnacle of professional discipline is outstanding and each and every person involved in the organization plays a critical role in keeping locals and visitors to the region safe when things sometimes don’t work out as planned. Broader community support comes from Area D, Village of Kaslo, BC Community Gaming Grants and Columbia Basin Trust. Kaslo Search and Rescue would like to thank the local communities and businesses for their support and at the same time to remind you that no matter what outdoor activity you are planning, be prepared. Follow the three Ts — trip planning, training, and taking the essentials. www.adventuresmart.ca is a great resource to help you get informed before heading outdoors. If you are interested in applying to volunteer for Kaslo Search and Rescue visit our Facebook page or website kaslosar.com and send a message to our admin team. How’s your Hot Tub? with its diverse population thinly scattered over a massive land area. This presents a challenge to the development of effective communication tools and processes that encourage and enable rural citizens to have focused, meaningful, and constructive interactive conversations on topics of importance to them. Thus the rationale for the Health Hub is simple: it’s hard to imagine effective public health initiatives and systems without public understanding and acceptance. And the best way to ensure that is to empower the public to help shape those initiatives and systems. Scope of the proposed pilot The pilot planning process began in January 2021, with two rollouts planned as of March 1, 2021 — one in Kaslo/North Kootenay Lake region of the West Kootenay, the other in the area covered by the Mount Waddington Health Network (North Vancouver Island/Central Coast). The intent of this pilot project is to create Pay Less with No Stress! Spa pa-ticus - a communications platform that is extremely flexible and can be highly effective in supporting a wide range of discussions and collaborations – from very focused, facilitated single topic discussions and consultations led by specific groups or organizations, to more open citizen-led discussion forums. In the case of each pilot, discussion topics will be selected and curated by local advisory committees. The BC Rural Centre will provide guidance and support during the course of the facilitated pilot, which will run from March 1 to the end of June. The pilot Hubs can continue to operate after that, without BC Rural Centre facilitation, at least until the end of the year. This project is made possible and supported by the Rural Coordination Centre of BC, and the BC Academic Health Sciences Network.
