Evolving together to support every child’s unique journey. 🚀

We’re celebrating a Friendly Future Flashback from the new @Pacekids Sensory Rooms. These are essential spaces for children with diverse needs to learn, build confidence and regulate their emotions. Thanks to a grant from the TELUS Calgary and Southern Alberta Community Board, together, we’ve made a huge leap forward:

💜Double the access: Pacekids’ sensory spaces evolved from one to two newly designed rooms, greatly increasing flexibility and access for children.

💚Deeper engagement: The sensory room upgrades represent a significant step forward with new features such as a black light marker board and an interactive projector that displays calming visual and auditory content, allowing children with diverse needs to engage multiple senses simultaneously.

With intuitive controls and expanded access, the Pacekids team provides a seamless, tailored experience to the children they support every day. Together, we’re building a friendlier future where every child has the tools they need to shine. 🌟

Mentorship looks different for everyone. 🤝

Whether it’s a teen in Calgary helping a younger student find their voice through literacy, or a PRISM mentor in Atlantic Canada providing a safe space for LGBTQ2S+ youth to feel seen, mentorship is about meeting a child exactly where they are.

We’re proud to walk side-by-side with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada chapters. Having funded 57 unique projects, we’re working to ensure that when a child looks for a leader to follow, someone is there to answer the call.

Mother’s Day is experienced in many different ways.

At @highbankssociety, it’s both a celebration and a recognition of the resilience, growth, and commitment of the young mothers they serve.

Highbanks Society is empowering young moms to overcome barriers and create lasting change through its Young Mother’s Support program, funded by the @TELUS Calgary & Southern Alberta Community Board through our Foundation.

Trauma-informed wraparound supports are provided by Highbanks Society for moms aged 16–24 who are emerging from trauma, homelessness and instability. The program integrates safe, affordable housing as well as education planning, life skills development, mental health services and cultural connection.

Their holistic approach helps young families not only navigate immediate challenges, but move toward stability, confidence, and long-term independence.

This Mother’s Day, we recognize the strength of young mothers who are rewriting their stories and creating new pathways forward for their families. 💜

With 78% of Canadian youth recognizing the impact of climate change on their mental wellbeing, a growing number are turning their “eco-anxiety” into collective action.

This #EarthDay, the @TELUS Interior and Northern BC Community Board is proud to support @bethechange_ea (BTCEA) and their CARE (Climate Action, Resilience, and Emotions) program.

CARE is a youth-led response to a complex problem. Reaching over 850 students, many in rural and remote communities, the program helps young people impacted by wildfires, flooding, and other climate catastrophes understand climate change concepts, process climate-related emotions, and gain motivation and confidence to take action.

One teacher captures the impact best: “The workshop was very valuable. I find so many climate conversations go negative, but BTCEA facilitated such an uplifting and positive view that made us feel empowered and capable.”

🌱Youth-led mentorship: Post-secondary facilitators lead workshops that use storytelling to build resilience and confidence.

💻 Digital reach: Online “Action Packs” ensure youth in rural and remote communities have access to world-class environmental education.

🤝 Culturally rooted: Developed in collaboration with the Qwelminte Secwepemc, the program honors Indigenous perspectives and food sovereignty.

By investing in the mental health and leadership of our youth, we are empowering the next generation of stewards to protect our environment.
