Creating colour and light for everyone!

Edmonton artist Glenn Guillet’s artwork has brightened public spaces across the city for more than five decades — including Myriad 1, now at the Covenant Community Health Centre.

From kinetic sculptures to large-scale murals, Glenn has spent his life creating art that everyone can enjoy.

“Art can give people something beautiful and positive in a world where there are a lot of dark forces.”

We're proud to feature his story and celebrate the impact of art in spaces of care and healing.

Happy Pi Day from St. Mary's Hospital Auxiliary! 🥧

Today, March 14 (3.14) we're celebrating in the sweetest way possible!

400+ delicious Wild Rose Co-op pies were delivered to 140+ businesses and residents across Camrose today, all in support of St. Mary's Hospital.

This marks the third year of this beloved community fundraiser, and it wouldn't be possible without the generous sponsorship of Weber Funeral Home and the incredible donors and businesses throughout the community.

Since 1924, (that's 102 years!) the St. Mary's Hospital Auxiliary has been raising funds and rallying volunteers to support our busy rural hospital.

Pi Day donations help fund critical equipment at the site like:

🔵Bladder scanners
🔵Bariatric safety equipment
🔵Sara Stedy active lift devices

Plus, compassion items and psycho-social enhancements like recreation therapy art supplies and gardening lights that make a real difference for patients.

A huge thank you to our many dedicated volunteers who made today happen, and to everyone who ordered a pie. 👏

Artist Riddhi Patel finds inspiration in rhythm, movement and the small details of everyday life🖼️

Her piece At the tour, now featured at Covenant Community Health Centre, was inspired by the lines, shadows and reflections she noticed during her Edmonton commute.

The result is a layered, meditative artwork that mirrors both movement and stillness.

“Having my work breathe in a space where the community lives means a lot.”

We’re grateful to share Riddhi’s story and celebrate the powerful role art plays in healing spaces.

Happy International Women's Day! 💜

Today we celebrate the incredible women across our organization who show up every day with skill, heart and dedication.

Our organization was built by women of vision.

Over 160 years ago, our founding Sisters laid the groundwork for health care in Alberta, opening hospitals and caring for those most in need.

That spirit lives on in the women who carry our mission forward today.

To every woman at Covenant making a difference in patient rooms, boardrooms, labs, kitchens and communities across Alberta, thank you.

We see you and we appreciate you. 👏

Last week, our teams across Alberta showed up in pink.

They came together to stand against bullying and send a clear message: kindness, respect and inclusion matter here.

We're so proud of our staff who live our values not just on days like this, but every single day.

It's who we are. 🩷
