Recently, our Community Programs and Therapeutic Services staff came together for “Writing Who We Are,” a collaborative space for reflection, appreciation, storytelling, and community care.
Facilitated by Mila Philipzig from the Writers' Guild of Alberta, the workshop invited participants to explore the experiences of hyphenated Canadians and EAL speakers through guided writing prompts and open sharing in a safe and welcoming environment.
The session encouraged courageous and tender storytelling, highlighting the rich experiences, identities, and voices that shape our diverse communities.
As the session came to a close, many participants shared that they were leaving with a sense of peace, gratitude, connection, and appreciation.
A heartfelt thank you to Mila Philipzig for facilitating such a thoughtful and meaningful experience for our staff.
