Risk is always better than regret. Students encounter this common idea when meeting professionals for informational interviews. Would you like to share your career journey with youth from our program? http://rebootplus.ca @fsc_ccf_fr @SBofT @BurnabyBOT @tg_programs

Moving is hard. Moving to a new country, with children, can be overwhelming. In BC, there are many programs, services and supports to help you and your children connect to your community. We have a comprehensive list of settlement services for children 0 – 12 years, searchable by community name. These resources help newcomer parents cope with parenting challenges in a new country and culture while coming together to share experiences and make connections. newtobc.ca/news-and-events/blog/4-free-resources-for-newcomer-parents-of-young-children/S.U.C.C.E.S.S. | Whistler Welcome Centre | Archway Community Services ...

Have you experienced wildfires, earthquakes or floods?

@redcrosscanada wants to hear about your experience. This month, the Canadian Red Cross and Partners for Action are conducting nine virtual focus groups across Canada as part of a research study. Emergency preparedness is not a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we want our emergency preparedness messages to reach a wider, more diverse population of Canadians.

Interested in learning more?

Visit: https://uwaterloo.ca/inclusive-resilience/

All participants will receive a $50 grocery card and a free, two-person emergency kit for donating two hours to the study.

This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics Board.

Posted @withregram • @bcadvsmart Getting by with a little help from a friend!

An enthusiast can be NEW to an activity but still be aware.

A novice enthusiast can be aware of;
✔️ their lack of skills & abilities
✔️ gear required (because they researched it)
✔️ responsibility to learn new skills
✔️ seeking out reliable information
✔️ knowing their limits
✔️ the importance of listening to, watching, asking questions and getting help from the more experienced in the group to learn from
✔️ not being overly confident but willing to learn and apply what’s key to success

DYK someone who is NEW to the outdoors?
Tag them here to HELP THEM learn more!

Mentor 👉🏽 @tabsrathbone aka past @bcadvsmart outdoor educator 👍🏽
