Regards, James Shedden Prevention and Health Promotion Specialist Mental Health and Addiction Services Page 9 My Experience at St. Anne De Beaupre I had been discharged two days before the Millbrook Pilgrimage was to leave. I asked my doctor please I know St. Anne will help me I need to go as a pilgrim, so off I went. When I was released from the hospital I could no longer write, my body was full of liver bruises and my hands had uncontrollable twitching caused by my condition. The first day I had uncontrollable vomiting I prayed that I could go on and not have to return home. Being extremely weak I had to use a wheelchair but I didn’t care as long as I could see our grandmother St. Anne.! Once at the shrine I felt her love for me and brought all my petition with me. During the mass on Saturday night I felt her presence and she was beckoning me to look at her I could not stop. Then when the relic was placed on me I felt a tremendous feeling of peace and tears of joys I couldn’t stop crying, then the priest who placed the relic on me came back and said the relic was so warm I told him St. Anne is going to help me. When I prayed I prayed for healing or Joyful resignation to my illness.! The next day my hands stopped jerking, the bruises faded and I could write. I walked over to the mass card office and wrote out twenty - five mass cards I actually walked with no assistance.! The faith of my parents and grandparents have always been an important part of my life’s journey and saw me through many turmoils.! I again am asking you for prayer when ever my condition improves as I know we are all here on a spiritual journey and we are ready to handle God’s plan for us.! ! Thank you,! Janet L Bernard !

Petapan: First Light featured key-note speakers, artist talks, panel discussions, evening showcases, seminars, and provided a space for celebrating art and forging connections. The event was organized by the Atlantic Public Arts Funders, which includes the New Brunswick Arts Board (artsnb), the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council (NLAC), Arts Nova Scotia (ArtsNS) and the Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts (PEIAC). The was the first time the four Atlantic provinces collaborated on an event specifically for Indigenous artists, thus the name Petapan – First Light – indicates a breaking of dawn. This set of Photos were taken by Carrie Anne Sylliboy The Youth and Elders group went on a trip to Partridge Island with Gerald Gloade who talked about Partridge Island’s historical significance to the Mi’kmaw culture; it is considered heaven to the Mi’kmaw people. Gerald told the legends of the area and gave insight to the youth about collecting materials from the site.
