Men’s health includes mental health. Fitness includes rest. Leadership includes vulnerability. When we open up, we lift each other up.

On #InternationalMensDay, we remind everyone that men’s health includes mental health. 💪❤️

On #WorldKindnessDay, remember that even small acts can have a lasting impact. Kindness is not weakness; it’s courage and connection. Let’s celebrate strength through compassion today and every day! 💖

This Remembrance Day, we honour all the Veterans who have shared their experiences through our workshops and exhibits — and the people they, in turn, honoured in their stories.

Because every story told keeps another memory alive.

🎥 The Power of Stories: they create connections, heal, and remind us we’re not alone. When we listen, we don’t just hear someone’s past—we see their humanity.

#RyanFlavelle, part of our first #VeteransWritingWorkshop, shares his memoir "The Patrol." It beautifully captures the raw reality of serving in Afghanistan—danger, humanity, and humour. Proud to call him a friend!

Ernie Pyle, a dropout of journalism school, became a beloved war correspondent and won a Pulitzer for his WWII reporting. Every veteran's story matters—your starting point doesn't dictate your destination.
