Storytelling has been around for millennia, not only for entertainment but as a way of imparting education, connection, and empowerment. Stories help us reflect on and overcome our challenges and develop resiliency skills like empathy, diversity, gratitude, and many more. We wanted to discover ways of bringing resiliency and storytelling together, and there has never been a more critical time to do so. Throughout the pandemic, our resiliency has been put to the test. Communities 4 Families’ workshop helps participants reflect and explore the many ways to build on their resiliency skills through the lens of each oral story we share.

Water Smart® Public Education
Every year in Canada there are between 450 and 500 fatal drownings, but most drownings are preventable. Learn how to be Water Smart® whenever you’re in, on, or around water!
Water Smart® is the Lifesaving Society’s public education initiative with the objective of making all Manitobans safe around water. Water Smart® delivers personal lifesaving education messages designed to modify high-risk behaviour and increase awareness of the responsibility individuals assume for themselves and others when in, on, or near the water.
Read their Public Education Guide for some Water Smart® ideas.
