Unbroken Chain

As we prepare our hearts and minds for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we are revisiting one of the most powerful resources created right here in our community.
​In case you missed it last year, the "Ancestral Echoes" podcast series is a beautiful collaboration between Comox Valley Arts, .radio, and the .

This project connects Elders and youth in the Comox Valley through the profound tradition of oral storytelling.

​We highly recommend starting with Episode One, featuring Verna and Gregory.
Listening to these cross-generational conversations is a meaningful way to engage with Truth and Reconciliation today. You can catch the episodes anytime online at cvox.ca or comoxvalleyarts.com.

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day.

Overdose can happen to anyone, and every loss matters.
Today, we remember the lives lost, support those affected, and raise awareness about the realities of substance use and overdose.

Every life matters.
Every loss counts.
Let’s replace stigma with compassion, silence with conversation, and judgment with support.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. Please wear a purple ribbon or put a candle out to raise Awareness as we honour everyone who has been impacted. Today we remember all the lives lost, of our loved ones, family, and community members. 💜
