Kelowna Retreat in 2017

How can you contribute to our region?

Hello everyone. For those of you who are new my name is Jennie Johnston and I live in BC and was the Western Canada Representative for 3 years (2017-2020)

There are many things that make a region rewarding for members, and some of them require volunteers to stay running. We have two main homes on the internet beside the SAQA website itself that are for sharing and staying connected in our region. This blog is one method and the other is our Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/saqawesterncanada/

Our blog is for sharing new exhibits, techniques, personal journeys, and the social media accounts and websites of members. Since our dedicated member Margaret Blank (also a former Western Canada rep and active SAQA member from Alberta) stepped down from the blog, I have been doing my best to maintain it. My time is no longer allowing me to keep the blog updated and this is where you come in.

Please consider taking over this important connection point for our region. We use the Blogger site to host it and it is a very user-friendly platform that anyone can learn. Ideally one or two posts a month would be all you need to do to keep members engaged in both larger SAQA and things going on in our region. Contact myself at the email on the sidebar or Susan Selby our current rep if you are interested and I am happy to go over the logistics.

If no one steps forward I am afraid this wonderful resource will become dormant and not be updated with new member information etc.

For the time being, I will continue to maintain our Instagram, so please send me any images of your work and relevant information for the caption if you’d like to have your work featured. Currently we have over 500 followers, so this is a great platform to share your work on.

Thanks everyone.

Jennie
