SUMMARY:Art in a Just Recovery
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS ART IN A JUST RECOVERY?\nArt in a Just Recovery (AIJR) is a local community arts project that explores community care in the context of our ongoing pandemic recovery in Guelph. We’ll explore these ideas together through art and story-telling. Through a series of online and in-person workshops facilitated by Art Not Shame and the Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition’s newly formed Creative Collective\, participants will create individual art pieces that eventually form a large-scale digital mural. We will also invite interested participants to contribute to building community-based knowledge about care. \nWHO IS INVOLVED?\nArt in a Just Recovery is a collaborative project between Art Not Shame\, the Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition\, University of Guelph researcher\, Amy Kipp\, social artist lead\, Melanie Schambach\, and several community Art Buddies. The project will also consist of two mental health workers who will provide support throughout the project. \nWe are inviting members from the community from ages 10+ to participate. \nWHEN\nWhole Group Workshops | February 27th – April 17th | Mondays\, 6-8pm | online \nArt Buddy Workshops | March 29th – April 22nd | Wednesdays\, Thursdays\, Fridays\, or Saturdays \nClick here to register. \nAs a participant of Art in a Just Recovery\, you will be a part of one of eight Art Buddy Groups that are based on art mediums and locations. Once the project begins\, you will able to share which Art Buddy Group you’d like to be a part of. \nOUR INTENTION\nWe’ve been thinking a lot about what community care means and feels like\, and it is our intention that care be the central intention of the project\, both in terms of how we create together and what we create together.

Today\, she lives that dream as the founder and CEO of Staff Shop\, an award-winning certified diverse staffing and recruitment firm. Through sharing her inspirational entrepreneurial journey as well as insight into truth and reconciliation in the workplace; equity\, diversity\, and inclusion; and the labour market\, she inspires leaders and their teams to reach their full potential both at home and work. \nMénard-Shand began her career in 2008 at one of Toronto’s most trusted full-service recruitment agencies\, The Bagg Group (now TalentWorld). In 2013\, she created Bagg @Your Service\, the organization’s first hospitality and events division\, before purchasing her creation in 2018 and evolving it into Staff Shop.

This is what drives her to do her best and inspire others to reach their full potential and leave a legacy worth following for future generations. \nProceeds – United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin’s Home for Good campaign- A bold call-to-action to solve homelessness in our community. \nWhat is Home for Good? \nThrough the generosity of our community\, we will raise $5 million to build homes for people experiencing homelessness in Guelph and Wellington. The immediate focus is to raise the capital investment required to complete three projects that will contribute 72 supportive housing units in Guelph over the next year. This solution will provide people experiencing chronic homelessness with consistent social and emotional support. Called ‘Permanent Supporting Housing (PSH)’ this can include programs supporting mental health\, wellness\, and food security. While not the only solution\, PSH is life and system changing. Funds raised through the Home for Good campaign will support three PSH projects\, including Kindle Communities\, Stepping Stone\, and Wyndham House\, and will move our community toward a 50% reduction in homelessness. \nThe Home for Good Campaign is a public commitment and invitation to solve homelessness in our community. Guelph and Wellington County have been working hard on this issue for many years and we have the data to show these three projects will go a long way in reaching our goal. \nTo find out more visit www.homeforgoodgw.ca
