IWK Patients

Mackenzie, IWK patient

Mackenzie

Ten year old Mackenzie of Middle Sackville, Nova Scotia, has a unique view of the world and has discovered a way to share it – through the lens of her camera. After receiving a Nikon camera for Christmas, Mackenzie quickly mastered its settings and started capturing images.

Isaac's mom became concerned that something was wrong when, as a baby, he was not reaching typical developmental milestones.

Ella may be tiny, but she has proven she is mighty. The care she received from the IWK Health Centre began before she was even born. Mallory and Mike Powell suffered a loss when one of their unborn twin babies passed away in utero.
