The Company of Others, a creative collaboration by author Sandra Shields and photographer David Campion, uniquely captures the spirit and significance of personal networks. Compelling stories and photographs lead the reader on an intimate journey into the lives of five individuals—with no connection to one other and little in common, except in one respect: each person is at the centre of an active social “circle”—a network of caring friends and family whose lives are enriched by the relationship they share. An extraordinary and moving book about the transformative power of family and community. $25 |

The Ties That Bind, a National Film Board of Canada production. This critically acclaimed NFB film features Chris Jordan, a spirited 28-year-old man living with multiple disabilities who is fuelled by dreams of independence. His parents set out to create a personal network of caring friends and relatives to support their son in living on his own so that he can survive and flourish long after they have gone. Their preparations are based on the Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network model, a delicate and extraordinary process as seen in the film and explored in greater detail in the extras and resource guide on this DVD. To expand your experience of The Ties That Bind, visit www.tiesthatbind.ca, and explore the companion Internet documentary and community engagement project.
