A Cowichan Valley group is looking for financial help to sponsor a Syrian refugee family, while WildPlay Element Parks of Nanaimo hosts the Naked Bungy Jump for Mental Health.
A 'new day' for Syrian refugee families A private Syrian refugee family reunification group in the Cowichan Valley has received a cheque for $5,500 toward helping a refugee family resettle in Canada under the private refugee sponsorship program.
The group is now organizing to sponsor Batoul’s brother, Abdul, his wife Nofa and their two children. This is the 17th year of the event, with all registration funds, donations and pledges going directly to Mental Health Recovery Partners, which provides programs for people living with mental illness on Vancouver Island.
The focus is community resilience, including connected, diverse, safe, active and nourished communities. A total of up to $600,000 is available for individual/small grant funding, with the remaining $200,000 allocated for projects that are multi-jurisdictional/multi-agency and involve a minimum of three partner organizations.
The city’s Neighbourhood Team has partnered with Building Resilient Neighbourhoods to deliver a six-part training series that runs from April to September.
