As some of you may know, being outdoors in nature has a huge impact on mental health. The human brain is theorised as regenerating crucial 'grey matter' with time spent outside in green spaces. This suggests that brain functions such as emotional processing, focused attention, and decision-making, among others, can be positively impacted with time outside.
Wild About Vancouver is putting on a free, family-friendly outdoor education festival this April. The range of activities looks phenomenal, bring your loved ones and check it out.

I have often used www.govolunteer.ca to find volunteer work, it is a simple-to-use website which allows you to choose search parameters such as city or focus on the work. Volunteer, for your health!
