June 18 -20 U. Western Ontario (Fac Ed) & CSBBCS

On June 19, at the University of Western Ontario, Rachel Heydon, Susan O’Neill, June Countryman, Frank Russo, and Christine Tzang met. I presented an overview on AIRS followed by discussion, then a working lunch. The afternoon focused on the Intergenerational Art program developed and well articulated by Rachel Heydon at Mount Saint Vincent senior care institute in Seattle. The following day, I met with Steven Brown, unavailable the previous day, who delivered a key-note at the Canadian Society for Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science (CSBBCS) at UWO. A poster was presented on the AIRS Digital Library (Cohen, Armstrong, Drew, Johnson, & Leggott). The next day, I met with Peter Graf who serves on the executive of the Canadian Psychological Association, and we discussed the possibility of partnership with CPA. He was optimistic about this idea, with suggestions of a special AIRS session at the next CPA in Montreal.
