L’édition spéciale du balado du CCLS avec Mike Downie est maintenant disponible !
Mike Downie est un documentariste primé, un philanthrope et le cofondateur du Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund — le plus grand fonds de réconciliation au Canada. Son film récent, The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal, a remporté le prix du public dans la catégorie des documentaires (People’s Choice Award for Documentary) au Festival international du film de Toronto (TIFF) de 2024, ainsi que sept prix Écrans canadiens.
Dans cet épisode, intitulé The Stories That Shape Us, Mike et Sue explorent le pouvoir de la narration comme outil pour établir des liens et favoriser la réconciliation et le changement. Il raconte comment le fait d’avoir grandi dans une petite ville près de Kingston lui a inculqué un profond sens de la curiosité et de la justice, comment l’héritage de son frère Gord continue de façonner son œuvre, et pourquoi l’histoire de Chanie Wenjack — un garçon de 12 ans qui tentait simplement de rentrer chez lui — est devenue l’une des histoires de réconciliation les plus puissantes de l’histoire canadienne.

The CCHL National Conference is coming up this weekend! Get a sneak peek from our Keynote speakers with our special edition podcast episodes!
The Stories That Shape Us — Mike Downie: In this rich and wide ranging conversation, Mike and Sue explore the power of storytelling as a tool for connection, reconciliation and change. Mike shares how growing up in a small town outside Kingston instilled in him a deep sense of curiosity and justice, how his brother Gord’s legacy continues to shape his work, and why the story of Chanie Wenjack – a 12 year old boy simply trying to get home – became one of the most powerful reconciliation stories in Canadian history.
Every Leader Has a Voice — Michael Rossi: He has spent 25 years in the corporate world, including 18 years with Adidas where he served as President of Adidas Canada, before making the bold leap to start his own business in 2021. In this conversation, he shares what that transition taught him about betting on yourself, finding meaning beyond a title, and leading through uncertainty.
The Conversations Healthcare is Afraid to Have — Amie Archibald-Varley: In this honest conversation, Amie and Sue talk about workplace violence, mental health, self-care and what courageous leadership looks like in practice. Amie's message to every health worker is simple and direct: you matter more than the job.

Amie Archibald-Varley est infirmière diplômée, une autrice à succès de The Wisdom of Nurses et co-créatrice de The Gritty Nurse, le podcast sur les soins infirmiers le plus écouté au Canada. Elle occupe actuellement les fonctions de consultante en mobilisation des connaissances auprès de l’Association des infirmières et infirmiers du Canada (AIIC), où elle s’emploie à faire en sorte que les données probantes, l’expérience vécue et les politiques donnent lieu à des mesures concrètes qui améliorent l’équité en matière de santé et font progresser le changement dans les systèmes de santé. En s’appuyant sur des expériences directes des soins, des conversations nationales sur les politiques de santé et le pouvoir de raconter des histoires, Amie met les leaders au défi de faire face à des réalités dérangeantes : la détresse morale de la main-d’œuvre, les inégalités dans les soins, les voix réduites au silence et les systèmes qui ne servent plus les patients, ni ceux qui y travaillent.
