Patient advisory group seeks new members Are you interested in making health care more patient and family-centred and equitable? The Kootenay Boundary Patient Advisory Committee & Community (PACC) may be the group for you and it’s looking for new members! “Patients are central to conversations about the health system, from the bedside to the boardroom,” shares Mindy Smith, PACC Chair. “Our members bring their experiences as patients and citizens to provide perspectives on important issues to health care providers and policymakers in our region. We want to increase our membership to better represent the communities of Kootenay Boundary, both geographical and identity-based.” The PACC provides input into decisions related to the Kootenay Boundary Collaborative Services Committee (CSC), a group of health care leaders, providers & coordinators, and Aboriginal and patient partners. The CSC is tasked with advancing primary health care through enhanced team-based care in acute, residential, and community care settings. Dr. Shelina Musaji, local physician and CSC Co-Chair, shares “patients have been instrumental in the design and implementation of the Primary Care Network (PCN), and this has contributed to its early success. The CSC works well as a group and we value our collaboration with patient partners. Their voices are important to ensure that patients are well-represented in all our discussions about health care in the Kootenay Boundary.” Suzanne Lee, Co-Chair of the CSC and Director, Clinical Operations Boundary & Kootenay Boundary Primary Care Lead with Interior Health echoes this view. “We must bring the patient voice to the forefront of our work if we are to transform our current system of care into a patient and family-centred system that represents the people we serve and provides the best possible outcomes. We must listen to the patient experience to make the decisions that will transform health care.” The Kootenay Boundary Patient Advisory Committee & Community is warmly inviting residents to explore their new website at https://kbpacc.ca to learn more about their work and how to get involved.

Many varieties of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths & mixes. “If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint”-Edward Hopper Creativity and curiosity go hand in hand to pave the way toward greater intelligence and personal expression. The brain’s elasticity strengthens and expands when people are curious and seek different experiences. A way to foster both creativity and curiosity is through art education. Different art forms push students to take up the challenge of creating personal works of art. Students forget their concerns as their thoughts become focused on the journey of a creative activity. Their innate curiosity to try new things, make new projects, and learn new art forms ignites their creativity. The process of creating art expresses ideas, information, and dreams. Art builds a sense of self, self-esteem, and the well-deserved feeling of pride in creating a personal piece of artwork. “You get what you give…except with art you always get so much more,” says Shauna Davis, the Seven Summits Centre for Learning Art Education teacher. “Art is an activity that allows students to learn through discovery and to display their personal creativity.” Students do this by slowing down and taking time to observe. Participating in the process of making art encourages students to look at the world differently as they discover hidden talents and newfound abilities. Davis particularly likes the clay project her art students completed. “I like to begin with artwork students are going to be good at because it builds interest and confidence,” she says. Photo Credit- Shauna Davis Davis describes her class workshop as a secure place for students to express themselves. This leads to optimism as students spread the message that it is fun making things. “Art is not out of reach whether a student believes, or has been told, that they are good at it or not,” says Davis. She adds, “I firmly believe that art is for everyone.” Everyone has art-making skills as they are transferable from the other areas of their lives. For example, Davis explains that the fine motor skills start from infancy and continue to develop when students learn cursive writing. As children learn to link letters with pencil to paper, the more neatly the child tries to write, the more they sharpen their future drawing skills. It is just a matter of connecting these familiar skills to the techniques of art that they may have never tried before. Davis’s greatest joy is when students come in with a negative idea about art, and from the instructed activities, they begin to see that they too can make amazing artwork pieces. “Students are often rushing to get through the project, and I like to give them extra help to conceptualize possibilities, get them to do more with each project as I always leave room for improvement by meeting them where they are at and nudging them to experience more. After all, art is just a bunch of teachable skills that with curiosity and time, everyone can learn to take part in creating individual works of art,” says Davis. “Being a teacher, workshop instructor, and photographer allows me to meet people that I otherwise wouldn’t meet, and help people to learn art which gives me a greater appreciation for my artistic path in life.” Getting students more involved in visual arts starts with exposure, interesting options, engagement, and time. “I make it my goal to get the students to work with various types of art material in class,” she says. “They really enjoy the different paths art can take them.” Currently, Seven Summits students attend art workshops throughout the entire year. This immersion in the arts allows for students to gain from the many benefits that result from curiosity, creativity, and, of course, art exposure.

Two art exhibits in the Langham Come on in to Kaslo’s Langham galleries where we currently have two excellent art exhibits reflecting two very different styles, media and content. In the Main Gallery we have an arresting and deeply affecting show from Tl’azt’en artist Damian John. Indian Agency uses the approachable medium of the comic book to explore the traumatic and difficult story of Indigenous peoples and the Indian Act. While this is a story of grief and pain, there is also growth, hope, and ultimately, resiliency. John says of the exhibit, “What if I reworked the images in comic book cover art to address some of the complicated, unusual, and deeply disturbing aspects of the Indian act and the treatment of indigenous people in Canada? If I mimicked the cover art closely, would it hold some power in explaining CHRISTMAS comes early at Kaslo ACE! both the ethereal nature and the very real impact of the story that is our history? How different would life be if we did things another way?” John will be offering an artist talk on his compelling exhibit Saturday November 27th 4pm in the Langham theatre. Admission by donation, max 50 people, all attendees must show proof of vaccine passport at the door. In the Lobby gallery we have a photo exhibit from Kaslo emerging artist Robert Banks Foster. Entitled Reality is Clumpy, the show encompasses 22 black and white photographs portraying trees over the winter of 2019/20, with the title of each piece forming a singular poem. Exhibits run through December 12. Gallery hours are Thursday-Sunday, 1-4pm.
