In May of 1995 the City of Calgary provided funding under the Innovative/Preventive Community and Social Development Department for a 12 week program aimed at teaching stand-up comedy to persons with a Severe and Persistent Mental Illness. The initiative as approved by Council... unanimously... was called the CHEERS project.
The initiative was a joint venture... all puns noted... between the City of Calgary... represented as the funder... the Canadian Mental Health Association the program manager... me as the Creative Dictator... and of course the Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social Workers...et all... who managed to keep me on task for 6 months...
