Vicky Wallace, Child Play Therapist and creator of the Nourish Families Program, as well as Amy Staheli, Certified Child Life Therapist, will be walking us through an intro into what the Zones are and how they can help us regulate our mental health:

Yes, I had support. Yes, I had resources. Sometimes it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you have all the anti-depressants, love, tea, yoga, clean food in the world. Sometimes you hit your low.

More than anything, we want to continue to be able to give you quality over quantity and not lose sight of why we do what we do. So when things happened to line up almost perfectly with our new community partner... we were over the moon to announce we'd FINALLY have a kids collection!!!

Since 1977, Childhood Connections has been providing services and resources to help children in the Okanagan grow and thrive in safe, secure, and healthy environments. They help families find the right care environment for their children and support those who provide care with valuable training and resources.

Whether we both got bit by the same entrepreneurial bug or there's just something in the water - our social enterprises have been blossoming side by side in a really rad community.

At Animikii, a digital agency that drives social innovation through Indigenous technology, we treat National Indigenous Peoples Day as a statutory holiday so that our team can attend community events that honour and celebrate Indigenous Peoples as resilient, vibrant, and diverse members of society.
