On Sunday June 26, 2011 one of the participants at the 'Aphasia, the movie' on June 15, 2011 wrote to the Voice of the People (Chronicle Herald, Nova Scotia). This was her review....
I would like to thank the Nova Scotia Aphasia Association for bringing Carl Macintyre’s presentation and movie Aphasia to Halifax this month. The event was well-attended, informative and enjoyable. Carl Macintyre is a charming man, a stroke survivor whose persistence and love of life have helped him overcome the communication (speech) barrier, aphasia.
His message was an eye-opener for all in attendance, not only those living with aphasia. First, life can change in an instant so be thankful for the important things: laughter, family and good friends. Second, why are we all in such a rush? We work fast, eat fast, and SPEAK fast. We need to slow down, consider others and live each moment fully before it passes.
I highly recommend a booking of Carl’s presentation for all health care providers and affiliates of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
