✨ Celebrating Wendy’s 5-Year Milestone ✨

Today, we are beyond proud to celebrate Wendy’s 5 years of recovery—a milestone that speaks to courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment to growth. 💪💙

Since her time at Aurora, Wendy has continued to build a life rooted in purpose and passion. As of October 2025, she is a University of Manitoba graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and is currently in the concentrated Bachelor of Social Work program, with graduation planned for October 2027👏.

February 2 marks not only her clean date, but five years of choosing recovery, five years of growth, and five years of proving what is possible.

Wendy shares, "I am forever grateful to Aurora for saving my life! The life that I live now would not be possible if I had not gone to Aurora when I did."

We are so honoured to be part of Wendy’s journey and can’t wait for the day she returns to share her story with others. Congratulations on this incredible milestone, Wendy. Your strength inspires us all. ✨💛

Aurora’s Extended Care members braved the chilly temperatures last week to take part in the Community204 Main Street Walk.

Community204 exists as a platform for community connection, rooted in acts of selfless volunteerism and altruism. This Indigenous-influenced group walks beside, supports, and advocates for the Winnipeg community, assisting people from all walks of life. Guided by Lateral Love, Lateral Empathy, and Lateral Unity, Community204 encourages compassion, camaraderie, and positivity in every interaction.

By giving back and connecting with community in meaningful ways, our members strengthen their recovery while fostering empathy, accountability, and hope — both for themselves and for those they walk beside.

💪 Strength in Recovery! 💪

Physical wellness plays a powerful role in recovery, and lifting weights is more than just building muscles — it’s about building resilience, confidence, and a strong mind-body connection. Regular exercise helps release stress, improve mood, and increase energy levels, all of which are essential in supporting a healthy recovery journey.

Coach Eddie meets with everyone individually to discuss a personal fitness plan, tailoring workouts to each person’s goals, abilities, and progress. Whether you’re lifting for strength, mobility, or just to feel stronger every day, Coach Eddie ensures you have guidance and support every step of the way.

Strong bodies, strong minds, strong recovery. 🏋️‍♂️💙

Today is 💙
A reminder that taking care of your mental health doesn’t always require big changes — sometimes it starts with a single moment.

✨ Ways to take a moment for your mental health today:
• Take 5 deep breaths and slow your body down
• Step outside and notice what’s around you
• Put your phone down and check in with yourself
• Reach out to someone you trust
• Do something creative — art, music, movement, or writing
• Rest without guilt
• Ask for help when you need it

At Aurora, we believe mental health and recovery go hand in hand. Every conversation matters, every story deserves space, and no one has to walk this journey alone.

Let’s keep breaking the silence — today and every day. 💙

You don’t have to be crafty to attend Kraft Korner — everyone is welcome to join in! 🎨

This week, our clients made silicone bead keychains, and with every finished piece came a big sense of pride. Crafting is more than just a fun activity at Aurora — it’s a powerful tool for recovery. It helps reduce stress, maintain focus, support emotional regulation, and gives clients a healthy outlet to express themselves and connect with others.

Kraft Korner runs twice a week and is always a much-anticipated part of the program, giving everyone time to slow down, focus, and feel accomplished. Every bead, every colour, and every creation is another step forward in Recovery for Life. 💙

At Aurora, healing goes beyond the walls of our centre — it happens in the pasture too. 🐴
With two horses and two donkeys, our weekly equine-assisted learning sessions give clients a powerful, hands-on way to build trust, regulate emotions, and reconnect with themselves.

Guided by our equine-assisted learning facilitator, clients learn through relationship, presence, and gentle communication — the same skills needed for healthy recovery and lifelong wellness. These sessions offer a calm, grounding space where healing happens naturally and without judgment.

This unique program is something that truly sets Aurora apart, creating meaningful experiences that support Recovery for Life in a way only animals can.

At Aurora, recovery is grounded in culture, connection, and belonging. 💙

We’re proud to support our Inuit clients through visits to the Inuit Centre in Winnipeg and by creating space to prepare and share traditional cultural foods. These moments help strengthen identity, comfort, and healing on the path to Recovery for Life.
