We’re working with School District 22, City of Vernon, and other local partners to mobilize student climate action in Vernon and beyond.
We’re busy planning the third round of CARE, where 15 teachers, 60+ community mentors, and 400+ students are collaborating to create more than 100 climate action projects. These projects will be displayed and judged at the CARE Student Summit on May 28 at the Vernon Curling Club. Public viewing time is from 12:30-1:30 pm.
We combine science with storytelling to explore diverse mental health issues and challenges with people from all walks of life. Join us to help build your mental health literacy!

Our Research Outcomes & Next Steps report outlines what we learned about seniors’ mental health needs and preferences. Based on outcomes, retired journalists are creating e-zine articles about seniors’ mental health issues that will be shared widely. Stay tuned for more!
