A film by Signe Baumane. “Rocks In My Pockets” is based on true events involving five women of Signe Baumane’s family and their battles with depression and suicide. It raises questions of how much family genetics determine who we are. The film is packed with visual metaphors, surreal images and a twisted sense of humor. It is an animated tale full of art, women, strange daring stories, Latvian accents, history, nature, adventure and more.

Delivering Hope
July 25
These are stamps issued by Canada Post in the years of 2008, 2009 and 2010 as a part of a campaign for the Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health. The Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health was established to raise awareness about mental illness and build the capacity of front-line, grassroots organizations supporting individuals and families coping with mental illness.
There is a great need for better understanding of mental illness, which effects one in five Canadians, and community-based resources focused on those affected by it. Thanks to Canada Post’s employees, customers and suppliers, $4.8 million has been raised so the Foundation can help address this need.
The 2011 Mental Health stamp was chosen through the competition among the more than 300 stamp designs submitted. You can see 5 finalists above. And the winner was "THE PUZZLE" (second from the right), an original design by Terrebonne resident Miriane Majeau!
