Patching our quilt
The Prairie Mountain Health Advisory Council is inviting our communities to share your stories of resilience and health! In this eight week event, we will post stories that together with your reflection, inspiration and participation will demonstrate how when faced with adversity, we turn to our community and connections. Join our weekly discussions and engage with our interactive tools. Help us patch our quilt with uplifting and positive stories of our personal and community resilience.
Reflecting on the patches of our quilt
Thank you for joining the Prairie Mountain Health Advisory Council on our journey to sew together a quilt of community stories. We have created a compilation of all the stories of the last seven weeks and would love to hear your thoughts and comments.
Thank you to everyone that commented, shared and came back each week to check out the new patches. You can view all of the patches from previous weeks below.

Photography can spur emotion, connection and conversation. The intimate work of Dr. Patterson, an emergency physician in Calgary, captures and documents front line healthcare staff experiences during the pandemic. Her provocative photography allows us a glimpse behind the doors of the hospital where care and sometimes chaos prevails.
The Prairie Mountain HAC would like you to help us honor, document, and remember the past and inspire hope for the future by sharing your favourite COVID-19 photo below. You can upload a photo and a brief description below, you can also comment on the photos that others have shared.

Perseverance
During this pandemic I was fortunate enough to go to Uganda for some missions work. One of the ways we would help the community was simply talking to them about their life and asking to pray for them. We met this man while he tilling his fields. We asked him how he was doing and he opened up to us about his struggles due to the pandemic. In Uganda, the country went into full lock down and many citizens were not able to work to provide for their families. This man lost his job and had to work his farm all day just to feed his family. His story reminded me of the perseverance we have as a human race. Even though life doesn’t always work the way we want it to, we continue to push through until we see success.

Family
My little pandemic baby. He has taught me strength that I never knew existed - being a first time mom with a newborn during the pandemic has been difficult, to say the least. But he has also brought us so much joy and love; truly a light amongst the darkness.

The Prairie Mountain Health Advisory Council is working on developing a word cloud that reflects what self-care, and wellness looks like in their communities. Please take a moment to share a word, or two, about what self-care looks like, or how you've been taking care of your health and wellness in the past year.
You can take a look through previous submissions for inspiration and come back often to see new submissions and how the word cloud changes with your responses.

Taking the time to enjoy the nature
I find after a long, arduous set. Going to catch a sunrise instantly improves my mood and makes me appreciate and enjoy the world around me so much more. Allowing to give yourself to reflect and be in the present in very important, especially in this time.
