"Arts matter more than ever because it brings community together in ways they wouldn't otherwise."

The Edmonton community came together at the end of August in O-day'min Park for the celebration of our newest public artwork "A Visible Mass" by @sanazmazinani. The gathering brought out both young and old for craft activities, storytelling, games, music and more.

You don't need to wait for a special event to get involved in the arts in Edmonton. Like Laura O'Connor of @albertacraftcouncil mentioned in the video, make plans to see a show with a friend or neighbour, pick up a beautiful handmade mug to enjoy at home from a local business, and make arts a part of your every day.

Share your story about the arts - how they've made a difference in your life, what arts funding means to you, and what we gain as a City when we fund the arts in Edmonton - by joining our "Why The Arts Matter" conversation.

Here are some action steps you can take to have your say:
- Email the mayor or your city councillor with your arts story by using the template on our website (LINK IN BIO)
- Comment below with a time the arts made a difference in your life.
- Support local artists and organizations by attending local arts events and markets (and bring a friend who hasn't been before!)

Thank you to @oldsawstudio for helping us bring this series to life! And a special thanks to @albertacraftcouncil, @craftforyeg and @audreysbooks for partnering with us on this wonderful event.

Dear Edmonton, it’s always so hard to say goodbye. 💜

This 15-second reel hardly does justice to what it meant to bring Rise After Silence home.

One of the most meaningful evenings of my book tour was at @audreysbooks, where I sat down with fellow ER physician @drshazmamithani to explore what the ER teaches us about healing.

We talked about what happens after survival, how our patients change us, and why healing doesn’t necessarily mean forgiving, reconciling, or forgetting.

Shazma brought such compassion and depth to the conversation. In a beautiful full-circle moment, a friend from high school who was working at Audrey’s helped host the Q&A and asked one of the night’s most powerful questions: What does it really mean to forgive?

But perhaps the most meaningful moment of my Edmonton visit happened away from the cameras.

My mom read the entire book in one sitting, staying up until 4:40 AM before messaging:

“I couldn’t put our book down!”

There are deeply vulnerable parts of our family history in those pages, including my mom’s experiences of trauma. Knowing she loved the book and believed it could help others was an extraordinary gift.

Of course, she also had editorial feedback. Apparently I used too many big words, including “visceral,” and should make the next book easier for the average person to read. Sorry, Mom!

To everyone who came to an event, bought or reviewed the book, sent an encouraging message, or simply welcomed me home: thank you. You made these days such an emotional high that I’ve barely known how to put them into words.

And to the wonderful team at Audrey’s Books and Dr. Shazma Mithani, thank you for creating space for such an honest, generous, deeply human conversation.

Edmonton is woven through this book and through the fabric of who I am. Bringing this story home has meant more than I can say.

The heart of this book isn’t the wound. It’s what we offer one another afterward.

Rise! 💜🙌

TOMORROW NIGHT at Audrey’s Books 💜 What the ER teaches us about healing.

Join Edmonton emergency physician Dr. Shazma Mithani and ER physician and author Dr. Anne Aspler for a conversation about the stories we carry, the power of being heard, and what caring for others teaches us about ourselves.

Through Anne’s new book, Rise After Silence: An ER Doctor and the Patients Who Healed Her, we’ll explore the intersection of emergency medicine, hidden trauma, and human connection—and how the patients we care for can change our lives, too.

For Anne, whose childhood and formative years in Edmonton are woven throughout the book, this evening is also a homecoming.

Come spend an evening with two ER doctors who believe there is so much to learn from listening to one another’s stories. Bring your questions, bring a friend, and join the conversation.

I am excited to announce that I have been awarded a grant from @canada.council

Born out of the dissonance of who gets to be a person in a society that increasingly labels those who hose for the status quo.

A huge thank you to @dearfutureyeg and @audreysbooks for helping bring the release party to life!

Join us October 22nd at 7 PM for poetry readings, keynote speakers, a book signing, and some yummy food! 🤭

🎟️ https://luma.com/8h895u0s

The late nights, missed buses to open mics, and classes skipped to write (don’t recommend that last one 😭) have all led here. Having my work recognized nationally means more than words can express.

So grateful to be supported alongside incredible Canadian artists. And this is only the beginning.

See you on the 22nd 😉, and more…

I am incredibly honoured to announce that I have been awarded a grant from @canada.council

Born out of the dissonance between creativity, capitalism, and identity, this collection explores how society often reduces human worth to productivity, labels, and social status, particularly for those pushed to its margins.

A huge honor to @dearfutureyeg and @audreysbooks for helping bring the release party to life!
