Now that the warmer weather is upon us, so is the season of barbequed meals shared with loved ones. But why fire up the grill over meals you’re no longer fired up by?

When we think of aging skin, we often picture seniors with delicate, paper-thin skin that bruises easily. But skin thinning and loss of resiliency begin much earlier, typically diminishing by around five per cent per decade. Given the ever-trending longevity movement, wellness enthusiasts and biohackers may be wise to consider how living beyond 95 might render the body’s largest organ, our skin, vulnerable. At last, there is an easy-to-use, science-based alternative to expensive lotions and potions or invasive, costly body treatments that often deliver little or only temporary results.

The B.C. Society for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse (BCSMSSA) is one of the only therapy clinics operating in Canada that exists to serve male-identifying survivors of sexual or domestic violence, a population that often goes unnoticed, unvoiced, and unsupported.

The unfortunate reality, though, is that men do not have a similar sociocultural system of support. Current statistics show that about one in six men will experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime, violence which, left unprocessed, can have dramatic echoes in these survivors’ lives.

When my daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), an incurable autoimmune disease, at just 22 months, I didn’t know where to turn. So I started running. I entered a charity race to raise money for a cure, and to try and outrun the fear of what her future might hold.

At the time, I didn’t even know kids could get arthritis. Fast forward 18 years, and we’ve come a long way, but heartbreakingly, most people still don’t know. A recent Ipsos poll shows that only one in five Canadians are aware that arthritis can affect children.

Hogan’s Alley was once the home of Vancouver’s first Black neighbourhood. Until the 1970s, it was a flourishing cultural hub. When urban renewal and the construction of the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts demolished the community, that legacy was lost—but it wasn’t forgotten.

Today, the Hogan’s Alley Society (HAS), a Black-led nonprofit, honours the memory of Hogan’s Alley, reclaiming a physical space that was unjustly erased while building a future that envisions housing justice and cultural belonging.
