EPS is a serious, life-threatening complication of CAPD. Most cases had PD duration of more than 4 years. Careful monitoring by CT scans of the peritoneal membrane in patients beyond 5 years, and early catheter removal in patients with peritoneal thickening should be considered for long-term CAPD patients. Treatment with tamoxifen may be of benefit in these patients.

Squaw Hall—A Community Remembers, documents an artist's response to returning to her home community of Williams Lake, BC to co-facilitate a community-based project exploring an Aboriginal-centred history of the area. Williams Lake borders three major First Nations including Secwepemc, Carrier, and Tsilhqot'in First Nation communities. The project artists worked with youth to write and perform a play on issues of importance to them including: gang violence, drug and alcohol use, and family struggles. The youth were also trained in media skills and created a short film which documented their elders' experiences as youth. The project revealed both the struggles and resilience of the communities as well as a fondness for the early days of the Williams Lake Stampede, when Aboriginal families would sometimes travel for days by horse and wagon to compete in the rodeo and dance at the Squaw Hall, the Indian dance hall.

The history of an open air dance hall in Williams Lake, B.C. acts as the touchpoint for a story collection project by Aboriginal and Métis youth. NICOLA HARWOOD reflects on the challenges of artists who "come from away" working to earn the trust of a community.
