During this time, Ronda found there was not a lot of support to assist people to remain, in their own homes and Age In Place.

Karla Rasmussen, Western Development Museum – Moose Jaw
Karla credits the influence of her late aunt and uncle for inspiring her with a love of history and museums at a young age; she and her younger sister would spend a week with their extended family in Winnipeg exploring numerous galleries and cultural locations each
summer.
Originally from a small town in west-central Manitoba, Karla grew up in her family’s funeral home business. After completing the Visual Communications course offered through her vocational high school, she went on to become the fourth generation of her family to work in the funeral industry, where she found her niche in creating custom memorial designs in their monument sales office.
Moving to Moose Jaw in 2008, she explored several diverse careers where she was able to use her education in developing graphics, campaigns, media relations, promotional and fundraising materials for local non-profit organizations. In the fall of 2016, she accepted a position at the WDM Moose Jaw as the Education and Public Programs Coordinator.
Karla’s motto is “life is too short for boring clothes” and relishes the
opportunity to dress up in period-appropriate costumes for the educational programming at the WDM. She thoroughly enjoys her job developing events and programs, talking with students and meeting visitors from around the world. Karla is a strong believer in the Museum’s vision of “a Saskatchewan where everyone belongs and histories matter”, and works hard to help make the WDM a welcoming place for all.
About the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery The Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery is a centre for the visual arts and Moose Jaw’s living history, sharing opportunities for education, exploration, and inspiration.

She also sets up public arts programs for the interested public and customizes programs to specialized groups such as Individuals with special needs and Seniors. At the beginning of COVID the in person programs at the gallery were morphed into virtual programs and “hybid” programs which means they are both in person (smaller class) and online. The program she runs with Seniors Centers without Walls phone program began in Fall 2020 and continues to flourish and expand to this day.

Judith Silverthorne
Cultural Consultant
Silverlight Productions Inc.
Judith Silverthorne is an award-winning author and a well-seasoned presenter, editor, and workshop instructor. As one of the cultural leaders in the province, Judith first and foremost loves to share her knowledge and writing skills to engage, inspire, and awaken creative processes in others, and is sensitive to the needs of seniors, particularly those in more remote areas who often lack connections and stimulation in this area, and may be at risk.
During her seven-year tenure as the Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild, she spear-headed programming for rural and northern residents, including province-wide programs for Indigenous by forming an Indigenous Advisory Circle for insights and suggestions with participants from all over the province. Though Judith comes from a settler background, she has developed long-lasting relationships with Indigenous communities and individuals, learning the importance of observing protocols, and gaining some understanding of the traditions and cultures throughout the province and is aware and respectful of the TRC Calls to Action.
Judith also has been instrumental in forming links with people in various other demographic groups and within communities in Saskatchewan, helping to build relationships and form partnerships. She understands the importance of connecting people with artistic endeavours and how art can not only be therapeutic mentally in stimulating cognitive abilities, but how it empowers, fosters a stronger sense of identity, and increases self-esteem. Her vision is to reach as many individuals as possible in remote and northern locations. She strives particularly to make connections with people, and communities, who otherwise would not have the opportunity or the means to participate in health enriching artistic programming.

Equines and Elders Seniors living in independent or assisted living facilities join us at our barn for hands-
on activities with our horses and ponies. These interactions stimulate memory and provide a sense of
calm and well-being both for participants familiar with horses and for those who are new to them. Our
program sessions combine a number of unmounted activities based on the Equine Assisted Learning
model. Each session is carefully crafted to provide our clients with physical activity, memory and speech
stimulation, access to a safe outdoor environment and an emotional connection with the horse Sessions
are held at the Bar 5 Equine centre where equine wellness offers individuals the chance to interact with
horses in a relaxed environment.
Groups from senior centres will come out twice a week by centre bus or families bring seniors out by
vehicles. Family and caregivers of the seniors are welcome as well. The programs are aimed at seniors
60 years of age and up. Our goal is to create an all environment that is all inclusive and the program will
include the First Nations Seven Teachings of -respect, love, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and
truth. Our senior program sessions combine a number of unmounted activities based on interactions
