Scandal Makers 3: The Grey Nun

--April 3, 2023.

Annie Hyland, perhaps better known to many as Sister Saint-Patrice (1873-1939), chose a life of duty and service with the Grey Nuns in Nicolet in 1893.

Serving as a music teacher and later a nurse at Saint Mary’s Residential School in Cardston, Alberta, located on the Blood Nation of the Blackfoot Confederacy, Annie’s story is connected to the shameful history and legacy of Canada’s residential school system. Host Julie Miller tells the poignant and difficult story about Annie Hyland from the Cimetière des Soeurs grises, in Nicolet, Quebec.

How about so-called “hybrid” events that feature in-person and online audiences and participants simultaneously? How do you get more professional looking video and clear, crisp audio online? How do you setup a livestream event? What kinds of budgets are needed?
