One half of one painting finished for @kamloopsartistvortex2026 . I was invited to be part of this group of supportive women in kamloops,BC. Each pic represents at least an hour or two of work. It is a mix of handmade pigments and watercolours. #northokanagan #kamloops #artvortex #sarahhopeart

It can be difficult for men to talk about their mental health. But these conversations are important. More men struggle with stress and depression and most never seek professional mental health services. Go to cmhavernon.ca for local resources.

In between all the work, the team at CMHA Vernon has been having a lot of fun leading up to Halloween. There's been costumes, pumpkin carving and treats.

We are currently monitoring the wildfire situation in Lavington and our thoughts are with our neighbours and friends who are close to the scene. We are also thinking of the firefighters tackling the blaze from the ground and air as well as other emergency personnel.

Our recreation participants headed to Enderby to enjoy the Shuswap River and hang out at Tuey Park. It was a great opportunity to celebrate the summer weather and have some fun in the lands of the Splatsin te Secwépemc.

It was a sweet day in CMHA's kitchen.
As part of the Foodanomics class, teacher Jenn showed our participants how to create strawberry freezer jam which was then used to make yummy treats. Participants got to take jam home.
