concluding the temporary residentia" school memorial at Robson Square In May 2Q21, after Tk'ernlups te SeC\IIIepemc announced the confirmat.ion of the remains of 215 children who were students of the Karnloops Indian Residential School, Tarnara Bell, a Halda artist, initiated a temporary resldentlal schools memorial on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery. The temporary residential schools memorial became a place of grieving and healing for many Indigenous Peoples, including residential school survivors, and a place for non-Indigenous people to learn and pay respects to the Children Who died at residentia.1 schools across Canada, The temporary residential schools memoria! fulfilled an acute need for a site to gather and grieve together during this painful time. What's happening? The City of Vancouver, with support from xwma8k •.•. ayam (Musqueam). S~xwu7mesh (Squamish). and saljlwata+ (Tsleil-Wautulh) Nations, have respectfully asked for the temporary residential school memorial on the steps ofthe Vancouver Art Gallery at Robson Square to come to a conclusion. ThIs is very hard and emotlona lIy charged work and the City is committed to ha.ndling this process with care, compassion, and respect. Why has the City requested the temporary memorial conclude? Over the last 16 months, the City has come to better understand that any commemorative or art project as significant and long-standing as this temporary residential schools memorial, requires consultation and permission from the local Nations.

As a City of ReconCiliatIon, and in-Une with UNDRIP, the City has responsibility to recognize the rights and titles ofthe.xNmaekwaYam (Musqueam). S!s,~wU7mesh (Squamish), and saHlwata+ (Tsleil:..Waututh) Nations and to support the observance of cultural protocols, These Nations were not consulted and'did not give forma! permission prior to the installation of the temporary residential schools memorial. Reconciliat.ion is a learning journey, and the City acknowledges its own misstep in not acting earlier to observe the rights and HUes and cultural protocols of the local Nations due to the sensitive nature of the temporary residential schools mernoriaL Next steps & support for Indigenous community members There is a ne~ for public, culturally appropriate spaces for mourning and healing from residential schools, and the City is committed to working with the xwma9kWaya;m (Musqueam).

Editor's note: In this issue of the Carnegie Newsletter are several of the entries to the Sandy Cameron Memorial Writing Contest. Those selected by judges for 1st, 2nd & 3rd have appeared in the Nov 15 and Dec 1 editions. Much of the writing and poetry not so acclaimed is well worth reading.
The Heart and Darkness of the Downtown Eastside I wait for the #3 bus to go to work at the corner of Main and Hastings. I'm going to be late as usual, but I need my Timmy's. I'm just a janitor and I don't care. It's after 6am and the city-run washrooms outside the Carnegie Centre are open. The Carnegie is there to help people, guide people and even mentor people like me. I spent 9 years up on the 3rd floor in the Thursdays Writing Collective. That was run by Elee K Gardiner, who mentored me and many others in the art of writing and poetry. She changed my life. But a lot of people sleep around the Carnegie's sidewalks on cardboard beds, wrapped in blankets or in sleeping bags. They hobble up and down the washroom's stairs like refugees ofa forgotten place or war, ragged and dirty. A bare-footed woman in long pink hair and tattoos,jeans and just a bra on, a blanket on her back, cries and stumbles down the women's washroom stairs. The October unforgiving cold rain from last night has stopped. The corner reminds me of a ragged and retreating army. It's packed tight with many still sleeping on cardboard beds and in tents, with their shopping carts close by holding what little they have in life. Others sit on their bikes or milk crates like they are having a street meeting. I see 3 or 4 groups selling or buying drugs. I down the rest of my morning beer and start on my Timmy's, lighting a smoke as this tattoo-faced dude I know bums a smoke off me. Then I hear that familiar cry for help: "Does anyone have Narcan?" I put my coffee down and yell back, "I'll get some from the washroom attendant downstairs," as someone waves down a passing ambulance. Coming back upstairs I get the kit ready as I fast-walk over to this big native dude on a cardboard bed that I noticed coming from Tim Hortons. The ambulance guys are there as I come up to the native man and inject him with Narcan to save his life but they stop me and say, "He's been dead for hours now. Sorry everyone." This is the heart and darkness of the Downtown Eastside. By Henry Doyle

Close To The Bone All I got is this shopping cart It holds everything I own I guess that you could say I live close to the bone Sometimes I really wonder How I got to be like this But there must have been Something that this boy has missed Most nights I sleep in the park In myoid and leaky tent And I eat at the Sally Ann When my money's all been spent I really don't know if things Will get any better But one thing for sure is r ain't no high-stepping strutter Yeah, I just keep a hanging on In the best way that I can But I just got to say that It takes a toll on a man But if you can, mister Please, throw a little coin my way Anything at all would help And really make my day Patrick Foley

This book is by Michael Clague, director of Carnegie Community Centre from 1999 - 2005 when he turned 65 and agreed to retire. The title alone has gotten good feedback. Reading it on a bus and a stranger getting off brightened up enough to say "I really like the name of that book!" He was gone by the time I said the writer is 82. It's Michael's story of his personal & working life over better than 5 decades and his claim of the moniker "~ommunity worker" is well earned. It's a progression from being a kid interested in UN work to involvement in various causes and government affiliations. He examines his life irt1ine with the precept of "subJective approach and objective adjustment," reflectmg how we all think, then act, then reflect and adjust before acting again. It's heart-warming to have him describe working at Carnegie Centre as "the best job I ever had." It is also a testament to the reality of working in this neighbourhood as an'Cequalto community members and not assuming an administrative position to the exclusion of interacting with residents. When Michael first arrived the open drug market at the front door and all over the corner at Hastings & Main ~as in full-blown frenzy and the learning, both personal & professional, that he accrued over the years, helped to make positive changes. The entire book is a good read. If you're from around here you may recognise names and know what transpired. Suffice it to say that Michael Clague seems to be doing okay at being who he is.

To the fair city of Vancouver, Where the mountains meet the sea, There lies a neighborhood most sorrowful, A place of poverty. The Downtown Eastside, A district most forlorn, Where the homeless and the destitute Do daily mourn. ' Once a vibrant hub of industry, Now a shadow of its past, Where addiction and crime do thrive And hope doth.not long last. ' But amidst the poverty and despair, There are glimmers of light, For the people of the Downtown Eastside, Do struggle and do fight.
They seek to overcome their hardships, To rise above their fate, And though their journey may be difficult They will not succumb to hate. ' For the spirit of the Downtown Eastside, Is one of resilience and strength, And though the road ahead may be long, They will persevere at length. So let us not forget this place, And the people who call it home, For they are a testament to the human spirit, And the power of the human soul. Hobo Bill

Join us Q12 5 ., 3, a sCe: i ibg~E1 j, I _ for the opening of "HoVlf to Invest In Iran?" and "The Surveillance of the Quiet." Exhibiting artists AHeen Bahmanipour and Genevieve MaroisLefebvre explore the nuances of image construction and critically address themes of feminism, diasporic identities, the surveillance society, al")d the politics of location and identity .
.-
In How To InvestJn Iran?, Bahmanipour explores the contemporary form and utilizations of iconoclasms to make sense of the diasporic experience and the state of anxiety and loss that occurs as a result of dislocation. How To Invest in Iran? comprises of handmade paper manuals, laser cut plexiglass sculptures. and a Performance piece. The diagrams that are featured as part of Bahmanipour's vvorkss mirror the objective and indifferent nature of diagrams and the povver of diagrams to act as reconstructions of things that. are knovvn. Like Bahmanipour, Genevieve Marios-Lefebvre's "The Surveillance of the Quiet" explores the use of images that reveal as much as they conceal and challenges the use of images as tools for surveillance. Marios-Lefebvre sho\Ncases images captured by trail cameras placed in the forest ~Iose to the Canada-US border in Quebec alongside two video vvorks. The Surveillance of the Quiet is an inquisitive body of \IIIorks that questions the abstract concept of borders, the surveillance society and relationships betvveen the seen and the unseen. Bahmanipour and Marois-Lefebvre explore the multifaceted and intangible nature of our shared reality rooted in individual perspectives by questioning the role of representational images that act as symbols of a dictated reality. •

A New Model for Responding to Mental Health Crises Moira Wyton TheTyee.ca In its first year operating, the North Shore Peer Assisted Care Team, or PACT, has responded to more than 750 calls and texts from people in need of mental health or substance use support. Teams are set to launch soon in New Westminster and Victoria. Eby's expansion announcement On Sunday, Premier David Eby announced the province would create 12 new PACTs across B.C., two of which would be First Nations-led, as part of his flagship Safer Communities Action Plan. "These peerassisted teams intervene when people are in mental health crises in our streets, freeing up police to focus on crime instead of social services," Eby said. The program, run by the Canadian Mental Health Association in B.C., pairs a peer support worker who has living experience of mental health issues with a trained mental health professional to attend to people in distress. The teams can help by de-escalating the situation, connecting the caller to resources or simply offering a listening ear. And they already show promising signs of diverting people in crisis from the emergency room and reducing the involvement of police in mental health calls. Sunday's announcement shows there is political will to build civilian-led health responses that help keep people well and in their communities, said Jonathan Morris, CEO of CMHA BC. Police are not well-trained in mental health crisis response, and many people in mental distress have been . injured or killed by police responses, particularly disabled, Black, Indigenous and other racialized people. ) "We need a sufficient and well-integrated mental health and crisis care system, to support a shift away , from police being the default responder," said Morris, noting that police will continue to play a role until . such a system exists. "There's a sense of hope for meaningful change right now." Shaeiy Ritchey, a registered nurse who advised the creation of the forthcoming PACT in Victoria, says peer-support from people who have lived experience is a transformative response to mental health calls. When you are contemplating suicide or self-harm, it is very difficult to speak to someone who hasn't been in that same place, they explained. If police are present, that can be intimidating and make it difficult for the person to relax or feel safe. Ritchey has dealt with suicidal thoughts and mental health crises in the past, but even calls to wellresourced crisis lines have been damaging when they didn't feel heard or understood. "The comfort and non-judgement from peers is so sacred and so needed," they said. Culturally safe, trauma-informed care is hugely important, she added, especially when individuals may face stigma or shame for asking for help. Non-police responses also reduce concerns about losing employment, relationships or housing if someone is apprehended or arrested. 'Not about fixing people' The teams in Victoria and New Westminster have taken their time to ensure their launch is as smooth as possible, Ritchey said. But the work can't end at a single PACT or even 12. THERE IS HELP If you needesupport, the Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Centre of BC hotline is 1-800-784-2433. The Canadian Mental Health Association's B.C. Division runs a 24-hour support line that will connect you with a local crisis centre without a wait or busy signal: 310-6789, no area code.

Wherever you are at this season, the Carnegie Branch is a warm space to sit and, well, just be among others without having to do anything more than that. You might even hear the sweet murmurs of Vince Guaraldi Trio's soundtrack to Charlie Brown Christmas emanating from the staff room, a soundtrack that always tends to soothe my soul around this time of year. ~~ Danielle, Branch Head

Aids Vancouver is an amazing organization for all the work they do to destigmatize HIV and provide hope and empathy to clients. I had the privilege of attending a gathering with activists on World Aids Day 2022 and learn about the struggles and triumphs, tears and celebrations of people suffering from HIV. It takes incredible strength to carry on when one's health is used as a weapon against you. We need to remember that giving love and compassion is essential to keeping people alive. Hatred, stigmatization and fear are all destroyers of health. Being a person suffering from schizoid-affective disorder I think I understand a few things about stigma. I was in denial about my illness because ofthe incredible discrimination I faced being of Indo-Canadian origin. I feel that the way that we are treated by society, is as fear inducing as being a person of colour who has experienced hatred through structural racism. The "lunatic" is like the witch-hunts of the 15th and 18th century. We may have technology but our attitudes are still like barbarians. I recently became aware of an organization called Schizophrenia Alliance. It is a peer run group based out of the United States and it validates the medical model of mental illness. I have found that medication is the vital and missing link in treating a biological condition such as schizophrenia. Yes the medication has side effects but unless you are cognizant and a sufferer you really can't understand this situation. This is why AIDS Vancouver's new peer navigator program is such a breath offresh air. Like Schizophrenia Alliance which has 6 steps of recovery it was pioneered by Joanne Verbanic. She adapted the 12 steps of recovery from the AA program to 6 steps of recovery
I SURRENDER, I admit I need help. I can't do it alone I CHOOSE I choose to be well. I take full responsibility for my choices and I realize the choices I make directly influence the quality of my days I BELIEVE I now come to believe that I have been provided with great inner resources an I will use these resources to help myself and others I FORGIVE I forgive myself for all the mistakes I have made. I also forgive and release everyone who has injured or harmed me in any way , • I UNDERST ANO I now understand that erroneous, self-defeating thinking contributes to my problems, failures, unhappiness and fears. I am ready to have my belief system altered so my life can be transformed I DECIDE I make a decision to turn my life over to the care of a Higher Power, as I understand the Higher Power surrendering my will and false beliefs.
