2024 Thomas W Ellora M Hart Scholarship Recipients
We congratulated 5 successful recipients of the Thomas W and Ellora M Hart Memorial Scholarship at our conference on October 26, 2024. Successful recipients Rose Walker, Maria Cristina Laureano, and Samantha Doyle were presented their awards by members of the Hart family, pictured here. Unable to be in attendance were recipients Shay-lee Jackson and Mia Barker who are pictured in the slide show.
Some of our burn survivors were featured on an episode of the CBC show You Can’t Ask That. “The show asks the misunderstood, judged, or stigmatized people in society the questions you’ve always wanted to know the answers to. It’s about breaking down stereotypes and offering a genuine insight into the lives people who live with labels. Were you in an accident? Can I touch your burn scars? Are people afraid of you? Canadians talk about their journeys and the stigmas they face as burn survivors.”
The show is currently available on AMI but will be posted to CBC Gem in the coming weeks.
Mamingwey Chat is an online support group and a great opportunity to connect with other burn survivors. All burn survivors, family members, friends, burn unit staff and firefighters are welcome. These meetings generally take place on the second Tuesday of each month. Please contact barb@mamingwey.ca for more information or to get the Zoom link.
Our deepest appreciation to Canadian artist Kal Barteski for modifying our logo! Kal created the original Mamingwey Burn Survivor Society logo back in 2003. As we are now the Mamingwey Burn Society Inc., Kal has graciously made the changes for us. Thanks so much Kal!
