Magazine
A collection of Animal Memories from inmates at 5 correctional institutions across 3 regions of Canada is now available in a magazine format! This national Kickstarter project was a collaborative effort of the Citizen Advisory Committee, Correctional Service Canada, and the Universities of Saskatchewan and Regina. The goal is to raise awareness about the many benefits of the human-animal bond or connection by:
1. Profiling human-animal bond research evidence and several animal-assisted interventions in CSC institutions, and
2. Inviting inmates to share animal memories including stories of personal experience, artwork, photos and poetry.
The on-line magazine is available here.
Additional submissions not in the magazine are available here.
