Contact Phone: (506) 634‐1611 Fri May 24 ART BATTLE 55. Sanctuary Theatre, 228 Germain Street. 7:30 pm. Art Battle is live competitive painting. Twelve artists are chosen to compete; only one will emerge from the final round as the winner. Painters create the best work they can in 20 minutes. As they work, patrons move around the easels, closely watching the creative process. The medium is acrylic paint and the tools allowed are brushes, palette knives or any non‐mechanical implements. At the end of the round, the audience votes democratically for their favourite painting and bids in silent auction to take the work home. Although Art Battle holds events across the country, each city's Art Battles are run locally using local artists. In addition to being a blast for artists and patrons, part of the goal of Art Battle is to be a possible launching pad for emerging artists. Artists have been connected to galleries and buyers through Art Battle, and in one case, an artist was flown to Austria for an apprenticeship. As well, all paintings are sold after they are created through silent auction, so artists can walk away from the evening with cash in their pockets! The winner of the Saint John event will earn a spot (and a flight) at the Art Battle National Championships in Toronto in July to Battle it out for the title of Art Battle Champion. Painters Wanted!

  • Journée Municipale Nationale
    Office of Health System Renewal Benchmarking and Performance Improvement Project Final Report Phase 1 - Benchmarking April 25th, 2013 Executive Summary 2 Executive Summary Reminder of the Context and the Mandate The Context . Creation of the Office of Health System Renewal (OHSR) in the Spring of 2012 . Two year mandate to encourage and assist health system partners and the NB health system to improve its performance. A high level benchmarking carried out by the OHSR showed that in 2004, total public health care costs per capita in NB were $ 79 below the Canadian average but $ 277 above the Canadian average in 2011; this represents an over expenditure of $ 209M compared to the Canadian average . For hospitals only, the total public expenditures per capita for 2004 were $ 237 over the Canadian average. In 2012, this difference in costs per capita increased to $ 394.50, which represents an over expenditure of $ 298M compared to the Canadian average . Low population growth and a significant increase in health care expenditures have contributed to the deterioration of NB’s relative position . Further analysis also found that NB compared to the Canadian average has: – greater access to hospital facilities – longer hospital average length of stays – more physicians and other health care staff in most professions . All in all, the OHSR concluded that the NB health care system is not aligned, integrated, citizen-centered, innovative, affordable and sustainable . Based on this high level analysis, the OHSR recommended that the goal should be to achieve a per capita public health care cost equal to the Canadian average by fiscal 2016-2017; according to the OHSR, this represents a total annual reduction in health care spending of approximately $ 250M by 2017 .

These names, vastly divergent in their conceived meanings, are based upon the cultural and historical beliefs that dominate the mindset of the people living in the areas. Even within a particular social order people prescribe to divergent belief systems. This divergence within a society is also found to exist within the field of mental health. Due to these various, and conflicting belief systems, a mental condition of a particular individual can be looked upon in many different ways.
