Innovation in Wellness

Define age - "I believe age means to travel an incredible journey, one that should be celebrated." We are all in different chapters of the same book, and isn't it true that each chapter builds a richer story? My goal is to enable people to enjoy this stage of their life as much, if not more, than their previous life stages. We each have come so far and have incredible journeys and stories to celebrate! I have never thought of aging as a negative, and always remind people that this is a time to enjoy every moment in life - just because they are aging doesn't mean life can't be vibrant and fulfilling. There is strength that comes with life experiences, people should be empowered to feel that strength. If we shift our mindset we can redefine what it means to age, and bring dignity and power to that word |

Climate Change
Mar. 13, 2023 12:00 p.m.
Bill has been a member of RCC Heritage Park for almost 10 years. He joined as part of his retirement plans, and was attracted to Rotary by what he saw it doing in Guatemala as he started a non-profit project there. As a former oil industry geologist, he is not a climate scientist, but can relate to the technology. However, his talk is not about the technology. It is about why we as Rotarians should care about climate change, and what can we do as individuals about it. |

How to Prevent Human Trafficing
May 29, 2023 12:00 p.m.
Human Trafficking, what is it, how do you detect it, resources out there, report it and even better, how to prevent it. I hope you are well? I’d like to introduce you to a friend and colleague of mine, Kelly Schuler. Kelly Schuler is the Executive Director at BRAVE Education. BRAVE Education is a non-profit organisation based here in Calgary. At the heart of what BRAVE Education does is Anti-Trafficking Education for Children and Youth in Canada and their communities of support. They recently obtained a $2.75m grant (that requires matched funding) to expand their work on Human Trafficking Prevention Education in Canada. This project is the largest project funded by Mitacs to date in the area of social innovation. Using a trauma-informed and social justice approach, this project will examine all existing human trafficking prevention education for young people in Canada to determine what is effective, where there are gaps and will make recommendations on best practices re: developing and implementing human trafficking prevention education for young people in Canada. Human Trafficking is one of Canada’s best kept secrets with many people thinking that it does not happen in Canada. As such, BRAVE Education is raising awareness on the dangers of trafficking and how it manifests in Canada. Kelly as the ED of Brave would like to deliver a presentation to our club on the great work that they are doing on human trafficking prevention and provide some insights on how the club members can spot if someone is being trafficked and what they can do about it. Some useful information about BRAVE Education and Human Trafficking in Canada: Who is BRAVE education and what do they do? BRAVE Education is founded on the three pillars of research, education and collaboration. The BRAVE Vision is to ensure every child in Canada has access to prevention education, prior to the average age of recruitment, which is age 12-14. The BRAVE Team, comprised of 20 members throughout Canada, is committed to collaborating with community organizations, youth serving leaders and policy-influencers with a vision to ensure every child in Canada has access to age-appropriate and culturally relevant human trafficking prevention education. The embodiment of BRAVE’s approach is ‘nothing about us without us’ and is foundational to BRAVE’s success in serving communities to help protect children. What is human trafficking? According to Statistics Canada, human trafficking is a complex crime that is often difficult to detect and prosecute, many cases go undetected and unreported. It involves the recruiting, transporting, transferring, receiving, holding, concealing, or harbouring of a person—or the exercise of control, direction or influence over the movements of a person—in order to exploit or facilitate the exploitation of that person (Public Safety Canada, 2022a; Public Safety Canada, 2022b; UNODC, 2021). Whether it is sexual exploitation, forced labour or another type of exploitation, victims of this type of crime often come from vulnerable groups in society (Casassa et al., 2021; CCTEHT, 2021b; Public Safety Canada, 2022a; Public Safety Canada, 2022b). Interesting facts to consider about human trafficking in Canada :
