CMU’s Along the Road to Freedom launches
The stories of Mennonite women who brought their families out of conflict zones have been put to paper in a new book.
Along the Road to Freedom: Mennonite women of courage and faith was launched on Nov. 8 at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The book is a project of the Canadian Mennonite University and the Mennonite Heritage Centre gallery.
It is also an extension of Ray Dirks’ Along the Road to Freedom exhibition which honours Russian Mennonite mothers and grandmothers. The exhibition has toured in several provinces and states and opens at Kings University in Edmonton on Dec. 2. Dirks is the heritage centre gallery’s curator.
Local nurses recognized for excellence
Two local nurses have been awarded by their colleagues for dedication to their practice.
River Heights’ Karen Bodnaryk and Fort Rouge’s Stephanie Betker each received awards from the Association of Registered Nurses of Manitoba on Oct. 25 at the 2017 Professional Nursing Awards.
Bodnaryk received the award of excellence for nursing education, which is presented to registered nurses who practise as a nurse educator in a college, university or clinical setting and demonstrate teaching excellence by encouraging critical thinking and innovation, according to the association.
Betker received the emerging leader award, given to registered nurses in clinical practice who entered the profession as a registered nurse within the past five years and demonstrates excellence in their practice area, outstanding communication and promising leadership qualities.
