Brilliant legacy

With impressionism, things can look messy when you’re eyeing the brush strikes up close. Stand back, voila, the piece comes into focus.

But with photomosaics, an image made up of hundreds of smaller photos, it’s the opposite. The closer you stand, the more images you see.

In the era of AI art, it’s all too easy to fire off a kitschy digital photomosaic. The internet is littered with mindless renderings showing, say, an image of the Statue of Liberty made up of a thousand Big Macs.

It’s another and rare thing to build a photomosaic by hand, with a genuine artist’s grasp of the form’s strange double life. This is what, for the past eight years or so, a collaborative team — in particular Edmonton-based creator and curator Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn, sculptor Royden Mills, Theodora Harasymiw and a group of volunteers — did for Ukrainian Voice: A Legacy Mosaic, one of four new exhibitions at the Oseredok: Ukrainian Cultural and Education Centre.

Winnipeg: Home of IG’s past and future

Shortly after IG Wealth Management was established in Canada, our founders chose Winnipeg as the home of our young, ambitious company.

This year, as IG celebrates its milestone 100-year anniversary of helping Canadians achieve financial well-being, we’ve been reflecting on the decisions that shaped our company and the values that continue to define us today.

The decision to establish our headquarters in Winnipeg was a foundational one.

Winnipeg, a city at the heart of our country where people, ideas and opportunity come together, has always been more than a location for IG. The city’s talent, character and sense of community have helped our company grow and thrive for generations. These qualities made Winnipeg the right place to build a business then and they continue to make it the right place to be today.

When you ask people about digital health care, the complaint that too many digital solutions are built from the top down, comes up a lot, writes Christine Sismondo.
