THE WORKING TEAM
Learn about the hard work that goes on in the background, to create a wonderful year of special activities and programs for the Gala Celebrations. The group has been meeting monthly, since December 2023 and leads all key decisions about the celebrations. A lot of work is involved in planning for 12 months of activities. We are still welcoming new volunteers for more hands-on tasks. Email us at info@edmontonepilepsy.org to inquire if you can led a hand! Learn more about our volunteers and project makers! CLICK HERE
EPILEPSY PORTRAITS
This is one of our featured projects for the Gala Celebrations. We have gathered participation from 10 volunteers in our membership, who live with epilepsy. This group of courageous and generous members shared their stories with seizures and epilepsy. They worked with our resident artist, Katie Tilbury, who will paint their portraits. Parts of the stories will be compiled in a wonderful publication for June 2025. Learn more at this link.
