Today is Pink Shirt Day.
It starts in schools, but bullying does not always end there.
As adults, we shape our workplaces and communities. Respect and dignity matter every day.
Everyone deserves to feel safe, at school, at work, and especially at home.

February is #BlackHistoryMonth, a time for celebration and recognition. It’s also a reminder that housing systems don’t work the same for everyone.
Barriers can show up in everyday moments:
• Who is believed
• Who is denied access
• Who is labelled “high risk”
This is why #equitablehousing matters.
Reflecting on 2025, thank you to everyone who supported Pacifica Housing.💚
Your generosity and advocacy help ensure people facing crisis are met with care, dignity, and support.
The need doesn’t pause, and because of this community, neither does our work.
#Housingfirst #YYJ #Nanaimo
