Local Shoppers Drug Mart Stores Donate $10,051 to Family Navigation

July 21, 2017 By Leave a Comment

Showing off the big cheque at the Shoppers Drug Mart Orchard Park Mall location.

Shoppers Drug Mart has a long history of promoting women’s health through in-store events and community campaigns. This year, CMHA Kelowna was the charity of choice for the Spring Beauty Gala in nine local stores! $10,051 was raised for our Family Navigation program. We are incredibly grateful – thank you!

Family Navigation supports the mental health and wellbeing of entire families. In addition to providing assistance to access supports and services, Family Navigation offers support groups and self-care resources because we recognize that parents and caregivers benefit from a sense of community and shared experience.

Income and Disability Assistance Rates to Increase

July 20, 2017 By Leave a Comment

A rate increase is coming for those receiving income and disability assistance, with Premier John Horgan announcing an additional $100/month for both. The increase is effective September 20th, 2017.

The new monthly rates will be $1,133 for a person receiving disability assistance and $710 for a person on income assistance.

This is certainly a step in the right direction for poverty reduction. Advocates hope that future increases will be linked to inflation rates.
