|
Strong Women: An Inspirational Evening On October 22nd, the Canmore Public Library hosted its second annual Strong Women event, sponsored by the Canmore Rotary Club. Some 25 women, from high school age to grandmothers, joined seven presenters for an evening of inspiration that included motivation, movement, music, literature and art. They had two keynote speakers. First, Margo Talbot shared the story of how she overcame suicidal depression, tapping into her inner strength to become a world renowned ice climber, author and speaker. Myrna Kootenay (spirit name: Anuka’tha Wiya), a Nakoda Sioux who lives at Morley, Alberta, overcame many losses and tragedies, and now organizes Grief and Loss Circles for the Stoney First Nation, supporting people to learn healthy coping mechanisms. A variety of nibbles - sushi, fruit, vegetables, and cheese - were provided, along with delicious cookies made by Edible Life.

Meet Clara
Clara Cao is a Cataloguer at Marigold. Early Life: Before Clara moved to Canada in 2001, she lived in Wuhan in China -- where she grew up, went to university, worked as an Industry Automation Engineer, and had her own family. Family: Clara and her husband have two children. They love their trips to China to visit their family members and friends. Favourite Things: Clara enjoys reading, listening to music, hiking, travelling, hanging out with her family and friends, and surfing the internet. Fun Fact: Clara has lots of family members and friends who have their birthdays in November. What I Like About Marigold: "Marigold is a great work place and a big happy family where everyone is passionate, innovative, hardworking, collaborative, and having lots of fun." Book Recommendation: Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip Heath & Dan Heath. "This is a book I read many years ago, and it is still one of my favorites. It is an informative and enjoyable change management book. The elephant, rider, and path concept about change can be applied to anything in life. The book is full of inspiring real-life stories, for example, Jerry Sternin of Save the Children, saving the lives of thousands of malnourished children in Vietnam in six months without funding; college student Paul Butler, saving the endangered parrots in St. Lucians and St. Vincents, etc. This book will give you an in-depth and hopeful look into how change works and how to improve your situations."
