Follow on Google News | St. Mildred’s and PhotoSensitive utilize photography for cancer awarenessSt. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School decided to partner with PhotoSensitive to raise awareness about the project in the independent school community.
By: MariaLara St. Mildred’s has reached out to the Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) and the Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario (CIS) to encourage students to participate by making a submission to the exhibition. The project, presented by PhotoSensitive in partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society, is a large-scale black and white photographic exhibition depicting Canadians’ experiences with cancer. St. Mildred’s- The exhibition travels across the country to engage Canadians in conversations about cancer, in turn raising awareness about the disease. This project marks the first time that PhotoSensitive is accepting submissions from both professional photographers and the general public. "SMLS is very excited to invite CAIS and CIS students from across Canada to join the Cancer Connections National Photography Exhibition,” Maddie Goodall, who is a Grade 12 student at St. Mildred’s- “Through the one-month work study program offered at St. Mildred's, I had the opportunity to work in the area of study I'm hoping to pursue in university,” The Cancer Connections exhibit is displayed in an open-air, public space to allow visitors to see the show for free and to maximize the number of people who see it. “Cancer Connections invites Canadians to tell their story of living with cancer through the power of black and white photography,” The statistics show that two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and many others are affected by the disease, whether personally or though a friend, relative or acquaintance. Cancer Connections’ Both professional photographers and the general public can submit their portraits to Cancer Connections to become a part of the exhibition. After debuting in Toronto in May 2008 with 300 images, Cancer Connections has exhibited in Montreal and Charlottetown. Now, with almost 500 images, Cancer Connections will showcase its exhibition in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland throughout September and October. The tour will continue in 2010, travelling to Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; and Ottawa, Ontario.
