  • Barb Stegemann Is on a Mission to Make the World a Better Place—And Beauty Products Are Her Weapon of Choice
    Scents Sensibility& Barb Stegemann is on a mission to make the world a better place—and beauty products are her weapon of choice BY STEPHEN KIMBER “THREE THOUSAND GOURDE,” the porter said. “For your check-in.” It was November 2016, and Barb Stegemann (a high-energy motivational speaker, author of The 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen and president and CEO of The 7 Virtues Beauty Inc., a Halifax-based fragrance company with a global social entrepreneurial mission) was standing at the American Airlines check-in counter at the airport in Port au Prince. She’d traveled to Haiti to meet with local essential oils suppliers, as well as to volunteer in the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Matthew, which had ripped through that incredibly poor, hard-luck country that was then still reeling—and still far from recovered—after a massive 2010 earthquake. It was that earthquake (which killed more than 250,000 Haitians, displaced 1.5 million more and damaged or destroyed close to 4,000 schools) that had brought Stegemann to Haiti in the first place. Having already made a name for herself by creating perfumes sourced from fair trade suppliers in Afghanistan in order to goose that war-ravaged country’s legal economic development, Stegemann was the only Canadian invited to join a Clinton Foundation post-earthquake recovery trade mission to Haiti in 2012. That mission led to the launch—appropriately on United Nations International Day of Peace—of Vetiver of Haiti, a perfume made from an essential oil Stegemann had purchased there. On this buying-volunteering trip, however, she’d encountered one of the realities often faced by those who want to bring social change to war- and-disaster plagued countries: endemic corruption.

  • True Patriot Love 2017 Multinational Symposium
    Identity of Self and Family Family and Community-Centric Care Hope in Transition 2017 True Patriot Love Multinational Symposium: The Impact of Injury on the Family Presented by Scotiabank Presented by Scotiabank 1 Introduction True Patriot Love Foundation (TPL) is a national charity dedicated to providing Canadian military and Veteran families with the support they need and the hope they deserve. Since 2009, TPL has provided $25 million to fund innovative research and support 750 community-based programs across the country. By addressing the unique challenges resulting from military service including mental health, physical rehabilitation, transitioning to civilian life, and the special needs of children, TPL has helped change the lives of more than 25,000 military families. From September 23 to 30, the Invictus Games 2017 was held in Toronto. On September 22, the eve of the Opening Ceremony, TPL held its fourth Multinational Symposium, bringing together international thought leaders, military and Veteran families, and Invictus Games competitors to discuss an important issue: the impact of service- related injury on military families. Also present was His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales, who founded the Invictus Games to support injured soldiers and their families. The TPL symposia serve to address Veterans’ issues on a global scale and advance the well-being of military families by: • Increasing our understanding of the challenges military families face resulting from the unique conditions of service in times of peace and conflict • Creating an international dialogue on best practices to improve the quality of, and accessibility to, programs and services that support military families • Fostering engaging partnerships between and across sectors that will have meaningful impact on military families Shaun Francis, Founder and Chair of the TPL Board of Directors, set the tone for the day.

  • Long-Term Motor Recovery After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Beyond Established Limits
    J Head Trauma Rehabil Copyright c 2015 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Long-Term Motor Recovery After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Beyond Established Limits Ryan C. N. D’Arcy, PhD; D. Stephen Lindsay, PhD; Xiaowei Song, PhD; Jodie R. Gawryluk, PhD; Debbie Greene, CA; Chantel Mayo, BSc; Sujoy Ghosh Hajra, BEng; Lila Mandziuk, OT; John Mathieson, MD; Trevor Greene, BJ (Hons) Objective: To report neural plasticity changes after severe traumatic brain injury. Setting: Case-control study. Participants: Canadian soldier, Captain Trevor Greene survived a severe open-traumatic brain injury during a 2006 combat tour in Afghanistan. Design: Longitudinal follow-up for more than 6 years. Main Measures: Twelve longitudinal functional magnetic imaging (fMRI) examinations were conducted to investigate lower limb activation changes in association with clinical examination. Trevor Greene’s lower limb fMRI activation was compared with control fMRI activation of (1) mental imagery of similar movement and (2) matched control subject data. Results: Trevor Greene’s motor recovery and corresponding fMRI activation increased significantly over time (F = 32.54, P < .001). Clinical measures of functional recovery correlated strongly with fMRI motor activation changes (r = 0.81, P = .001). By comparison, while Trevor Greene’s mental imagery activated similar motor regions, there was no evidence of fMRI activation change over time. While comparable, control motor activation did not change over time and there was no significant mental imagery activation. Conclusion: Motor function recovery can occur beyond 6 years after severe traumatic brain injury, both in neural plasticity and clinical outcome. This demonstrates that continued benefits in physical function due to rehabilitative efforts can be achieved for many years following injury.

  • Press Release Immediate December 14, 2009
    Press Release Immediate December 14, 2009 “THE DOWNSIDE OF HIGH” PREMIERES ON CBC TV’s “THE NATURE OF THINGS” with DAVID SUZUKI THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010 at 8 P.M. (8:30 NT) Is strong pot damaging young minds? That provocative question is at the heart of this new documentary about the science behind marijuana and mental illness. Teenagers who start smoking marijuana before the age of sixteen are four times more likely to become schizophrenic. That’s the startling conclusion of some of the world’s top schizophrenia experts, whose research is featured in the new documentary THE DOWNSIDE OF HIGH, premiering on CBC TV’s “THE NATURE OF THINGS” with DAVID SUZUKI on Thursday, January 28 at 8:00 P.M. (8:30 NT). The scientists’ groundbreaking work on the connection between marijuana and mental illness also reveals that, for all young adults, smoking marijuana nearly doubles the risk of developing recurring psychosis, paranoia and hallucinations – the hallmarks of schizophrenia. THE DOWNSIDE OF HIGH, directed and written by Bruce Mohun, tells the stories of three young people from British Columbia who believe – along with their doctors – that their mental illness was triggered by marijuana use. All three spent months in hospital psychiatric wards, and still wage a battle with their illness. Today’s super-potent pot may be a big part of the problem. Modern growing techniques have dramatically increased the amount of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana – ramping up the threat to the developing teenage brain. But there’s an intriguing twist to the story: in the process of cultivating more potent strains of pot, growers have also been breeding out a little-known ingredient called cannabidiol that seems to buffer the effects of THC.
