Megan Davies: Into the House of Old Travelling Exhibit

Megan Davies: Into the House of Old Travelling Exhibit

York professor Megan Davies innovative research approach led to the creation of one of Canada’s first public pandemic commemorations. Her work illuminates the national humanitarian crisis that took place in Canadian care homes, where 81% of COVID deaths took place over the first wave of the pandemic. A poignant multimedia installation, COVID in the House of Old acknowledges the thousands of seniors who died in care homes or endured months of isolation and the staff who faced an overwhelming burden of care.

On January 14, 2022 the COVID in the House of Old project became public with an online launch and a new website featuring a powerful storytelling exhibit, a haunting audio-visual representation of aggregate death stats, and a podcast.

“The exhibit features a series of storytelling chairs – 7 in total – each held by an individual whose life was indelibly altered by the rapid spread of COVID through long-term care,” explained Professor Davies, “Daughters, sons, and grandchildren tell tales of devastating loss. Survivor residents speak of painful separation. Workers describe confusion, exhaustion and terrible stress. The final exhibit chair has been set aside for the Wikwemikong Nursing Home on Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory in Northern Ontario where Indigenous and non-Indigenous Elders are honoured, respected and cared for with love.”

Beginning in the spring, a series of in-person exhibits will take place at BC’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University, local libraries, community centres and educational spaces. Funding is being sought to take CIHO across the country. Learn more about the project by connecting with Dr. Megan Davies.

Announcing new CFI and Mitacs collaboration

The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and Mitacs are working together to provide researchers with new opportunities to collaborate with innovators across all sectors. As part of this initiative, they are inviting Navigator-listed facilities to leverage Mitacs’s extensive network to identify specific private-sector organizations, industries, or other partners they would like to collaborate with.

Navigator-listed facilities will also have even greater potential for discovery as the Navigator becomes an essential tool in Mitacs’s mission to connect industry with research-based solutions to business challenges.

You can help researchers at your institution reach potential partners by encouraging them to list their eligible facility on the Navigator. Since its launch in 2013, the Navigator has helped hundreds of innovators locate and connect with publicly funded research facilities that are open to collaboration.
