MEDIA AND PUBLIC EVENTS

THIS ABILITY

In January 2005, BACI and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) embarked on what became a two-year joint media project called “This Ability”. The project used the power of media to communicate the contributions and gifts of individuals of all ages within the BACI community. 

We were very excited to work with the NFB and for individuals to have the opportunity to share their stories, activities, or experiences with the broader community.  Participants also had the opportunity to take a turn behind the camera and be part of the design and roll-out of the media making process. 

A series of 5 films were developed from the footage gathered. 

To view the completed films, please click here .   

Through generous funding from the United Way Community Innovation Grant, Chris Tanner facilitated the communication between BACI and the NFB.  Lorna Boschman, an experienced and creative director, was hired to inform and guide the journey of creating.

We hope that this media process has assisted, and will continue to assist, in creating a greater awareness of the contributions of individuals with varying levels of ability.

Below are some samples of journal entries near the beginning of the project:
