About the Cover

Cover Image

The public art featured on this month’s cover was created by Marika Drolet-Ferguson and is inspired by the environment of Sheldrake Island at the mouth of the Miramichi River in New Brunswick, where individuals with leprosy were confined during the 1840s. These individuals experienced horrendous conditions on the island, but their story also speaks to their courage and resilience in the face of a disease that carried with it a particular social stigma. A short film about the story and the artistic process is available at loststories.ca/sheldrake. Although not commonly encountered in Canada today, leprosy still carries the social stigma, as seen in a case report in this issue of a suspected case in a Canadian emergency department (page 291).

Illustration de la page couverture

L’oeuvre d’art public de la page couverture de ce mois-ci a pour auteure Marika Drolet-Ferguson et s’inspire des alentours de l’île Sheldrake à l’embouchure de la rivière Miramichi au Nouveau-Brunswick, où les personnes atteintes de la lèpre ont été confinées durant les années 1840. Ces personnes vivaient sur l’île dans des conditions horribles, mais leur histoire parle aussi de leur courage et de leur résilience face à une maladie porteuse d’une stigmatisation sociale particulière. Un court film au sujet de l’histoire et du processus artistique se trouve à loststories.ca/sheldrake. Même si la lèpre n’est pas couramment présente de nos jours au Canada, elle s’accompagne encore de la même stigmatisation sociale, comme en témoigne un rapport de cas dans le présent numéro à propos d’un cas suspecté de la maladie dans un service d’urgence canadien (page 291).
