IMAX ® Victoria IMAX ® Victoria is offering the stories and science of our ocean neighbours in Humpback Whales, narrated by acclaimed actor Ewan McGregor and set in the waters of Alaska, Hawaii and the remote islands of Tonga. In addition, other crowd favourites, including Sea Lions: Life by a Whisker, Turtle Odyssey and Asteroid Hunters, will also be offered upon reopening. Combination passes—admission to both IMAX ® Victoria and the Royal BC Museum—are available. Visitors looking to take a deeper dive into the lives of whales on the Pacific Coast can combine their Humpback Whales IMAX® Victoriaexperience with a visit to the Royal BC Museum’s feature exhibition, Orcas: Our Shared Future, and surface with a new appreciation of how whales and humans are inextricably connected. Film schedules, tickets and information about COVID-19 health and safety protocols are available at imaxvictoria.com. Build Our Kids’ Success RELIEF: A Transformative Journey Through the Rockies To raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health, the Bateman Foundation is partnering with other community organizations to celebrate the intersections between the Arts and health. RELIEF: A Transformative Journey Through the Rockies is a new photography exhibit that navigates mental health and iconic Canadian landscapes. Each photograph, accompanied by journal entries, offers a window into the artist’s physical and mental journey. Viewers are invited to slow down, take a breath and enjoy an immersive experience. Photographs from the exhibit will be available for purchase, with the proceeds supporting the artist and the ongoing work of the Bateman Foundation to build relationships with nature. Admission is by donation. batemanfoundation.org BOKS (Build Our Kids’ Success), an initiative of the Reebok Foundation, is built on the science and research documented in the book, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. BOKS provides free physical activity programs, training and support to communities that want to establish and maintain impactful fitness and nutrition programs serving the whole child. With children stuck indoors during COVID-19, a recent study from Dalhousie University reinforced the positive impact that physical activity and movement have on children’s well-being. Up to 25 grants in the amount of $2,000 each will be awarded to underserved schools in Canada. To be eligible schools must be signed up for the BOKS program. These grants can be used to purchase equipment, provide participant incentives/rewards, to pay trainers a stipend when program volunteers are lacking; or to be used in other creative ways to help overcome barriers to participation. For more information, visit bokskids.ca. Unbox Your Mind The Unbox Your Mind initiative provides guidance, support, and tools for leaders and parents to become mental health champions. Through this 4-H at Home initiative, you will be able to aid young people in their ability to identify, recognize, and manage stress in themselves and their peers, all while learning about good health and well-being. 4-H Canada has created and collected a series of resources and that are designed to help youth explore, test, and find strategies that can support their mental health and well-being. From resource materials and tip sheets to hands-on activities and strategies, there are a variety of ways to explore and discover what works best for each individual. When it comes to mental health, remember there is no “one size fits all” strategy for support. Different things work better or not as well for different people and that is okay. As you begin to ‘Unbox Your Mind’ and get to know yourself better, you will find what best fits your needs.
