ORNITHOLOGY: WORKS BY BARBARA
KENDRICK AND MONIQUE LUCHETTI
Monday, September 28–Saturday, November 7
Reception: Thursday, October 1, 5–7pm; Gallery Talk at 6:30pm
We are alive in a world where the distinction between what we
know to be human and what we believe to be animal is shrink-
ing. Kendrick’s and Luchetti’s artwork use images of birds to
speak of the ways our lives are inextricably tied together, inter-
dependent and bound to the earth for survival.
Kendrick admires birds’ ability to survive and adapt to new,
sometimes hostile, environments. The way they build nests
in storefront signs, or gather cigarette butts to line their nests,
informs her collages. Each collage opens up new questions
about our connection to the way the birds live in our world.
Luchetti sifts through museum’s ornithology collections, glean-
ing the identities of the birds, preserved and tagged by humans
for further study. Her drawings are a meditation of loss and
remembering, and on the contradiction inherent in humans,
racing to collect and catalog species, as they haplessly destroy
the same species through climate change and environmental
devastation.

In a suburban subdivision with identical houses, parents find
their teenagers addicted to an online horror video game. The

Parkland Theatre’s Second Stage
Comedy!
NOISES OFF!
By Michael Frayn
Directed by Dallas Street
Called the funniest modern farce ever written, Noises Off pres-
ents a hilariously hectic look backstage as a cast of frazzled
actors rehearse and perform a naughty little British comedy
called Nothing On. Doors slamming, on- and offstage romances,
flubbed lines, and misplaced plates of sardines all figure in the
zany plot of this loving satire of life in the theatre.

Health Care
Certificate in Community Mental
Health
This program is offered in partnership with Douglas
College and will provide you with a college credential
in Mental Health. The Certificate in Community
Mental Health is for those wishing to enhance their
knowledge and skills in the field of mental health.
Philosophy, principles and practice in the program
are based on recovery using the Psychosocial
Rehabilitation (PSR) approach. Northern Health has
identified Psychosocial Rehabilitation as a foundation
of mental healthcare for the north. It is a holistic
approach that places the person, not the illness, at
the centre of all interventions.
The Certificate in Community Mental Health consists
of two courses, which can be taken individually
(providing the prerequisites are met): Introduction to
Mental Health and Psychosocial Rehabilitation.
Individuals with limited or no experience in mental
health must start with Introduction to Mental Health
first. Health care workers with current experience and
knowledge in mental health disorders, the mental
health system, best practices in mental health and
person-centred practice may be able to challenge the
Introduction to Mental Health component and move
directly to Psychosocial Rehabilitation. Please
contact us for more information.
