Community Update: Understanding a Father’s Grief – BCBH Free Community Webinar

When a father loses a child, the grief can be profound, yet fathers are often expected to remain strong, carry responsibilities, and grieve quietly.

Join us for a compassionate community webinar hosted by British Columbia Bereavement Helpline (BCBH), exploring the unique experiences of fathers navigating grief and loss.

This conversation will provide space for reflection, understanding, and connection while recognizing that grief can look different for everyone.

Date: June 17
Time: 7:00 PM Pacific Time
Registration: Visit https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/webinar-the-weight-we-carry-a-fathers-journey-through-loss

Whether you are grieving yourself, supporting someone you care about, or hoping to better understand the grieving process, all are welcome to attend.

If you know someone who may benefit from this conversation, please feel free to share this invitation with them.

Community Awareness: Let’s Talk Anxiety

Today is Action Anxiety Day, a reminder that anxiety is real, common, and something many people silently navigate every day.

Anxiety can affect how we think, feel, sleep, work, physically function, connect with others, and move through daily life. Ongoing anxiety can become overwhelming and difficult to manage alone.

This day encourages us to:
💙 Learn more about anxiety and mental health
💚 Reduce stigma through open conversations
💙 Support those who may be struggling
💚 Share compassion, understanding, and helpful resources
Sometimes, simply asking “How are you really doing?” can make a meaningful difference.

If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety, remember that support is available and reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Community Update: Pride Season/ Week 2026 is here!

From June 8–14, our community celebrates Pride Week and recognizes the diversity, strength, and resilience of 2SLGBTQIA+ children, youth, adults, families, and communities.

This year marks a special milestone for Nanaimo Pride as they celebrate 30 years of Pride and 10 years of the Pride Parade and Festival.

Many people continue to face barriers because of gender, race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or ability.
Some individuals experience multiple intersecting barriers such as poverty, racism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia.
Pride Week is not only a celebration of identity and community, but also an important reminder of the ongoing work toward equity, inclusion, safety, and access to support for everyone.

We believe everyone deserves compassionate care, support, dignity, and a sense of belonging.
We are committed to creating welcoming and inclusive spaces for all members of our community.

If you are looking for local events, community connections, or support resources, we encourage you to explore:
