The past century has been </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">one of incredible change for Canadian women, and these stories offer examples </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">of how individual women’s lives have been shaped by the history of our time.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The films were produced as part of the Elders Digital Storytelling Project, which began in 2014 as a partnership between Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Education and the City of Burnaby. Funded by Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada (SSHRC) and AGE-WELL NCE grants, the project helped older adults create short autobiographical films that tell a special story in their lives, complete with music, photos and narration.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Register for free for this program online or by calling 604-522-3971.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://bpl.bc.ca/events/digital-stories-by-burnaby-women" style="font-size: 10pt;" target="_blank">http://bpl.bc.ca/events/digital-stories-by-burnaby-women</a></p><br><br><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";<br>mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA">Lisa Codd | Curator</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Burnaby Village Museum & Carousel</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";<br>mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA">6501 Deer Lake Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 3T6</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><br><span>lisa.codd@burnaby.ca</span><br><span> </span><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><br><span> </span><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.burnabyvillagemuseum.ca" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p></body></html>
