I am native to Norfolk County, born and raised on a tobacco farm just west of Simcoe, Ontario.

My love for Nature has always been a source of inner peace and love, with roots tied to my Grandfather, Earl Maxwell, who was a fur trapper. When I was a little girl I accompanied him on his

trap lines, learning early on about the beautiful landscapes and all life forms indigenous to the local

valleys and creeks. It was during those formative years that I learned to appreciate the perfection of

Nature and fell in love with immersing myself in its beauty to renew that peace within my heart and

soul.

I am particularly drawn to turtles and chose this selection to create awareness around the

declining species that are at risk or endangered. I find them incredibly beautiful-I feel so connected

to these masterpieces of Nature when capturing their essence through my lens.

Dodie Trimble is the Director of Quality and Clinical Practise and Medical Device Reprocessing at Norfolk General Hospital. Dodie has held many titles at NGH including the Director of 3B (Medical/Surgical/Maternal) and has many years of nursing experience. Dodie has assisted patients and families navigate the process of medical assistance in dying (MAID) for those who inquire at NGH.

Joanne Kiefer's father chose medical assistance in dying almost two years ago and was able to die at home with his family around him. Joanne will share what she learned through this process, including both the patient and the family perspective. It was a pioneering journey with the MAID legislation relatively new at that time and many working in the process feeling their way along.
