AC K N OW LEDGEMEN T S This project would not have been possible without the generous contributions of women living at Sanctum 1.5 who agreed to share their experiences with us—none of this would have been possible without you. We would also like to thank the staff and executive team at Sanctum 1.5 who have contributed to this project at every stage of this process, both as collaborators and in many cases as research participants. Thank you to the project advisory group and particularly to Dr. Alexandra King, whose feedback on this report and the research process has been invaluable. We also want to thank Louise Halfe, for leading our sharing circle with such openness and generosity. Thank you as well to Anne Ballantyne, Amanda White, Erica Schindel and the many, many others who have supported this research. We would also like to acknowledge that funding for this project was provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada in collaboration with the Sanctum Care Group and the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School at the University of Saskatchewan.
