Michel Rivard has been a volunteer at the PalliAmi Foundation since 1994. His compassionate listening skills, patience, discretion and natural empathy have afforded him unique experiences with patients of the Notre-Dame Hospital Palliative Care Unit. He is a man of great talent, and has produced a sculpture, Shock Waves, describing the stages of reaction to bad news. The work will be used to advertise a forthcoming exhibition to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society.
