Nights Alive is taking students ages 14 through 17 on a free bus trip to tour parts of the University of Alberta.
A final reinterment has been held and the remains of what authorities now say is a young aboriginal woman were laid to rest during a private ceremony recently.
The human bones were unearthed on the Rozmahel farm on August 26 of this year and for the past couple of months have been studied and analyzed by a team headed by forensic anthropologist Pamela Mayne Correia of the University of Alberta. Alberta Culture and Tourism was part of the recover exercise and supplied Caribou Publishing with the photos which accompany this article.
Diane Gordon, of Killam, recently underwent her second islet cell transplant, a step of what could be a three-part process, one that she feels has potentially saved her life and given her a future to look forward to.
Gordon, who is a private person, wanted to share her experience because she’s very well aware of how many people’s lives are affected by Type 1 Diabetes, and she knows many are genuinely interested in the progress currently being made in diabetes research.
“This research, and the amazing team of doctors and nurses at the University of Alberta Hospital and Islet Transplant Clinic have not only changed my quality of life, but my outlook on life,” she says.
