SUMMARY:No Fixed Address: The White Cart Memorial Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the screening of the film No Fixed Address: The White Cart Memorial\, followed by a panel discussion on grief and homelessness. \n\n\n\n\nJoin the UVic Institute on Aging & Lifelong Health\, BC Centre for Palliative Care\, Victoria Hospice\, Island Health\, and Kelowna Homelessness Research Centre\, for the first showing of the film in Victoria BC\, followed by a panel discussion. \nFilm Screening\nNo Fixed Address: The White Cart Memorial is a powerful and intimate documentary that sheds light on a deeply overlooked aspect of the homelessness crisis: people’s grief following the death of someone they care about. Through the voices and stories of individuals living with unstable housing in Kelowna\, the film explores what it means to grieve without a house\, and how loss echoes through a community already struggling to survive. \nCentered around the creation and meaning of the White Cart Memorial—a grassroots\, mobile tribute to unhoused lives lost—the film weaves together research\, personal lived experience testimonies\, community organization reflections\, and future action plans for the city of Kelowna. This film captures the emotional and logistical challenges of grieving in public spaces. \nDedicated to the memories of all unhoused lives lost—and those who carry their grief forward—No Fixed Address: The White Cart Memorial urges us to rethink how we hold space for mourning in public\, and how we can come together to build more compassionate\, inclusive systems of care. Because only through community can we create safer places to grieve\, to heal\, and to remember. \nPanel Discussion\nThe post-screening panel will include:\nCarley McConnachie\, PEERS\, Outreach Worker;\nHeidi Wigmore\, Victoria Hospice\, Grief Counsellor;\nJoshua Black\, co-producer and director of No Fixed Address;\nKim Toombs\, AVI Health and Community Services\, Senior Director;\nMarion Selfrige\, Cool Aid Community Health Centre\, Research Manager; and\nStephanie Laing\, co-producer and director of No Fixed Address. \nWatch the No Fixed Address trailer here: https://vimeo.com/1115956034
