We hope you read this background information carefully and thoroughly, because the practical examples and teaching suggestions in subsequent chapters can't really be understood without it (especially the information on CALLA). You won't get very far in this chapter without noticir:g that almost everything is organized in groups of threes. This pattern began as a coincidence and ended up as a deliberate decision on our part. We like the arrangement because it imposes an orderly structure on the discussion, and also -- more significantly because it may help you better to remmber some of the ideas below. 1.

    Dr. Roberta Bondar The first Canadian female astronaut, physician, scientist and photographer, Roberta Bondar was aboard the space shuttle Discovery for its January 1992 mission, realizing a personal dream and capturing the imagination of millions. Upon returning to Earth, Bondar wrote Touching the Earth , a book in which she speaks of her space experience and her love of the planet. For almost 20 years, Dr. Bondar has been on the scientific forefront in how the brain adapts to unfamiliar environments. She headed an international team at NASA for over a decade that researched the connections between astronauts recovering from the microgravity of space and neurological illnesses here on Earth, such as stroke and Parkinson’s disease. Her techniques have been used in clinical studies at Harvard Medical School and the University of New Mexico. Dr. Bondar participated in the National Gallery of Canada’s landmark exhibition, “Science and Photography: Beauty of Another Order”, and she photographed all of Canada’s national parks for a major book entitled Passionate Vision: Discovering Canada’s National Parks , published by Douglas & McIntyre. Her book Canada: Landscape of Dreams is now in its second printing. Dr. Bondar now applies her insights and lessons learned from the unpredictable environment of space to today’s constantly changing business environment. She created HyperThink™, a perspective and process that helps companies make adaptive decisions when entering uncharted territory. Among her numerous distinctions, Dr. Bondar has been honoured as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame for her pioneering research in space medicine, named by TIME magazine as one of North America’s Best Explorers and recognized with the Order of Canada and the NASA Space Medal.

Launched in conjunction with Canada’s 150th Anniversary, these initiatives create a place and space, physical and virtual, for conversations about issues that are shaping our society today and tomorrow. The goal is to reflect on our achievements – but also to deepen engagement, inspire positive action, and promote change and innovation that make our communities and nation even stronger and more sustainable. 63 Identity & Citizenship The Canadian Icons Project is a photographic and multimedia showcase of 150 iconic Canadians whose contributions have been felt across Canada and around the world, and who chronicle our nation’s diversity, creativity and achievements. The Canadian Change Conversations creates a platform to engage the Icons and Canadians at large in a series of narratives and demonstration projects designed to inform, challenge and change how we see our communities, our nation, our world and ourselves. Harnessing the power of Canadian Icons who serve to inspire, motivate and lead social change; exploring voices of citizens who help shape and move our communities; and supporting experimental 'makerspaces' to demonstrate responses and potential, the Canadian Icons Project / Canadian Change Conversations together encourage critical conversations designed to activate citizenship aimed at positive social change and innovation. 64 Don Dixon Creator, Director & Photographer of the Canadian Icons Project "Five years ago, with the help of some of Canada’s most talented communications and media industry experts, I began my journey – to photograph and interview Canada’s most accomplished living icons, in celebration of Canada's Sesquicentennial.

    Roberta Bondar C.C. O.Ont. MD PhD FRCP FRSC The world’s first neurologist in space, Dr. Roberta Bondar is globally recognized for her pioneering contributions to space medicine research, fine art photography and environment education. Aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery mission STS-42 in 1992, she conducted experiments for 18 countries in the first International Microgravity Laboratory, a precursor to the International Space Station. For over a decade after her spaceflight, she headed an international research team working with NASA on neurological symptoms seen after spaceflight, and their connections to neurological diseases on Earth. Trained as a member of NASA’s Earth Observation Team, Dr. Bondar expanded her professional photographic expertise as an honors student in Professional Nature Photography. Her fine art photographic works are held in private, corporate and institutional collections in Canada, the U.S. and England. She is the author of four best selling books featuring her writing and photography. Dr. Bondar continues to use fine art photography to explore and reveal Earth’s natural environment from the surface, seeing the world through the creative lenses of medical doctor, scientist, photographer, astronaut and writer. In her current project Protecting Space for Birds, Dr. Bondar is integrating three views of migratory bird corridors in the Americas and Asia-Europe-Africa—space, surface and aerial— to give us insight into the habitats needed by and to protect endangered and threatened birds. Dr. Bondar’s distinctions are diverse and include: Companion of the Order of Canada, the Order of Ontario, the NASA Space Medal, induction into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame and into the International Women’s Forum’s Hall of Fame, 28 honorary doctorates from Canadian and American Universities, Chancellor of Trent University 2003-2009, six Canadian schools in her name, a Specially Elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, an Honorary Fellow and Honorary Vice-president of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and her own star on Canada’s Walk of Fame.
