CBIS Road to Recovery

5/2/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Brain Twins, Ron and Wayne are embarking on an inspiring journey – a cross-Canada cycling adventure "The Road to Recovery." They hope to raise awareness and funds for the interconnected issues of mental health, homelessness, substance use, and brain injury, which affect millions of Canadians every day. These challenges are often intertwined, and addressing one can have a ripple effect on the others. 

The "Road to Recovery" campaign will take us from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, covering over 7,000 kilometers and connecting with communities of all sizes. 
Follow along the journey through the CBIS Road to Recovery Facebook Page, and donate to the GoFund Me if you are able. If you prefer a charitable receipt with your donation Donate Here. We greatly appreciate your attention to this.

Join us Friday, August 20 for the Outdoor Fluorescent Art Exhibit by James Darin Corbiere from 6-9pm on site at CBIS, 6011 Cassino Rd. Darin is an artist, working with pieces of white ash, letting the wood grain inspire his eyes. He uses alcohol ink, markers and pens. The wood grains either store information or they absorb energy from the surroundings. His artwork began in 2015 when he decided to heal from church related trauma. He has created over 200 individual pieces. One of the artwork featured is Dragonfly, shown on the right.

CELEBRATE BRAIN INJURY AWARENESS MONTH THIS JUNE!

6/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
In Canada, June is Brain Injury Awareness Month.
Each year national, provincial, and local associations run campaigns to increase awareness about the prevalence of brain injury; the obstacles that exist for those with brain injury; and the need for more services and support at all stages of recovery.

2021: Shining a Light on Brain Injury​
​The 2021 joint Brain Injury Awareness Month campaign is focused on raising awareness of brain injury in Canada - in other words, shining a light on this often invisible disability. Brain injury associations across Canada came together to share in this universal message about a condition that affects every individual in a unique, complex way.


Join the campaign by following along on social media. Use the hashtags:

#BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth, #BrainInjuryAcrossCanada, and #SpotlightonBrainInjury


You can also use these images for Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
