Remy Bernier

Remy Bernier started a new life in 2006. This was the result of a terrible event that would change his life forever: Remy had suffered a stroke. Prior to his accident, he was thriving as an aspiring mountain guide. Now, the right hemisphere of Remy’s body is paralyzed, and his coordination, speech and vision have been affected. He will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He continues to raise the bar in everything he does and has no plans to stop!

Donna Grantis

#culturevspolicy is a climate project conceptualized by musician Donna Grantis at 418 ppm.

“My vision is to create music inspired by — and featuring — conversations with climate scientists, activists, Indigenous leaders, policymakers, researchers and sociologists about Earth’s systems and how people relate to the climate emergency. I will explore the connection between culture and policy, in relation to human impacts on our planet, and present ideas as musical works.” — Donna Grantis

Elyse Portal

In the midst of the 6th Mass Extinction, I take my lead from other-than-humans, usually in the form of urban ecologies, plants and stones. There is some kind of magnetic feeling that draws me towards these beings. I sit and listen. I try to offer them something. My art shares perceptions and feelings of these exchanges, as a kind of antidote to separation.

Leslea Kroll

Leslea Kroll’s play Swallow featured two characters: sisters Jules and Karly, climate migrants and keepers of a tailings pond.

Alison Beaumont

Alison Beaumont is a multidisciplinary artist living on the traditional and unceded territory of the Sylix Okanagan peoples, her work is primarily focussed on climate awareness and her own experiences of connection to land and ecological sorrow. She hopes through art that she can inspire changes in our daily existence to avert the climate crisis. We all have a part to play, no matter how small. Incrementally changes build, if we preserve our forests and old growth, biodiversity can rebuild, if we consciously consume less, our resources and water can flourish again. Each small act builds and grows, the Earth will survive without us, but we cannot survive if we do not change our actions and ways of knowing and doing.

Gary A Crosby, Green Life Project

Gary Crosby is a very prolific artist. When you think about that statement, it would explain a lot about Gary. He likes to think of himself as an artist on a lifelong quest. To create a piece of artwork that needs no explanation. It is a work of art that grabs you and holds you in its tight grip, and you have a profound understanding of what is meant by the art. Climate Change is the largest globally destructive issue that the world is facing today. He is using his art to bring about change and provide an understanding of the issues of Climate Change. We are all in this together! We must all work together to heal the world.
