Igniting Music and Creative Community in Greater Parry Sound


Humphrey Nature Trails:
Creative Community Happens Here
“When you tell one story, you should always tell two. That way the stories will lean on each other”.
Whispering River Music’s Creative Communities project is based on an old storyteller’s saying:
The first of these, the “Humphrey Nature Trails: Creative Community Happens Here” project, invites families and community members to tell their own stories in response to twelve Covid-19 art installations along Rabbit Run Trail built by the students of Humphrey Public School.

Each station has a question about personal response to the pandemic generated by the grade 6 class.
Twelve Questions:
1 - Where have you found joy this year? What can you still do that makes you happy?
2 - Did you enjoy parts of the lockdown?
3 - Where have you found boredom?
4 - Have you been more creative? What have you created?
5 - How have you connected with family and friends? Where have you found comfort?
6 - Have you found yourself lazier?
7 - Where have you experienced frustration?
8 - How has Covid-19 affected your life? Have you learned anything from the experience?
9 - Where have you experienced sadness?
10 - What have you lost? What have you found?
11 - Have you been angry?
12 - What are you grateful for?
