April 10 - September 27, 2014
The Ripple Effect – Ordinary People, Extraordinary Results
What do a former police officer, an ultra-marathoner, an overseas volunteer and an official ice swimmer have in common? They are all featured in the upcoming The Ripple Effect exhibit, at the Okanagan Heritage Museum.
Through photographs, stories, videos and unique 3D installments, visitors will learn about the featured “Ripplers” and their passions, as well as advice on following in their footsteps. Avoiding hypothermia, how to become an international volunteer / successful fundraiser and what it is like to be a male diagnosed with breast cancer are some of the topics presented in the exhibit.
“We have Crystal cycling up a pile of books, George is floating in a hot air balloon and Paul is in a fridge, says curatorial manager Patti Kilback. “As for Peter, we are really excited about incorporating him into elements from the popular Out of the Shadow, Into the Light breast cancer exhibit.”
Peter Platt is a former police officer from Ottawa. After being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and breast cancer, Peter found part of his healing process was by helping others. He became an important advocate for both causes.
Paul Duffield’s perseverance and success in the risky world of ice swimming pushes the limits of human endurance. The West Kelowna athlete is Canada’s first recognized International Ice Swimmer.
Crystal Flaman from Kelowna is a record-setting athlete and fundraiser. She has personally raised more than $1.4 million for charity organizations such as Room To Read through running, cycling and swimming competitions.
George Harris from Winnipeg, Manitoba is a lifer in the world of volunteering. For over 46 years George has done professional volunteer placements in Africa (23 years) and in Winnipeg. At 70, he is still going strong with his community commitment.
This is Hanna’s second exhibit with Kelowna Museums. Her first was the highly successful 2009 rock climbing exhibit, On Solid Ground.
