2025-26 (WIP)

CavUnity has five initiatives for the upcoming 2025 - 2026 year. We will work on these initiatives throughout the year:

• 1. Care - Through our continued support for the IWK Health Centre and IWK Foundation, we remain dedicated to showing up for the children, youth and families who rely on the IWK’s world class care. From fundraising to awareness building, this initiative reflects the compassion and heart that define CavUnity. 

• 2. Hunger & Homelessness - As many families in our communities face growing challenges, CavUnity will continue supporting food banks, community fridges and shelters. This initiative is a call to action, a reminder that no one should go hungry or be left without shelter, and that we all have a role to play in creating dignity and equity for all. 

• 3. Mental Health, Addictions & Well Being - We are committed to helping combat the youth mental health crisis by raising awareness, reducing stigma and creating peer lead spaces for connection and healing. No young person should ever feel alone in their struggles, and CavUnity is here to help create networks of care, compassion and support. 

• 4. Environment -  As the climate crisis intensifies here in Nova Scotia and across Canada, CavUnity is stepping up through community clean ups, support for environmental organizations and the promotion of greener, eco friendly practices. We believe young people are not only the future of our planet, they're learning the way forward, right now. 

• 5. Recreation - Every youth deserves the chance to play, connect, and grow in safe and inclusive spaces. Our recreation initiative ensures that accessible and free recreation opportunities remain a part of our mission, supporting mental health, belonging and joy through active engagement. 

Stay tuned for more information on upcoming events, fundraisers & programs for our initiatives.
