💛🖤 Supporting recovery and resilience: from Lifemark to the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025

Joy Brooks-DesBarres, one of Lifemark’s Regional Directors, will be stepping into a special role this February as a Medical Team volunteer at the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.

Joy isn’t new to this inspiring event – she was Medical Lead for Swimming at the Invictus Games Toronto 2017. For Joy, it’s all about honouring the incredible determination and recovery journeys of each competitor who has worked tirelessly alongside their teams, families, and healthcare professionals to get here. Joy will be joined by her son Wade, a kinesiology student, soaking in the energy of the Games as they are both set to volunteer in multiple events including wheelchair rugby, wheelchair basketball, seated volleyball, indoor rowing, and (for the first time ever added winter sport) skeleton.

As an official partner of Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, Lifemark is looking forward to cheering on competitors from around the globe, celebrating their courage and resilience.

Mark your calendars: February 8–16, 2025, the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 are now just under a month away! 🗓️ Please join us in supporting the remarkable competitors set to participate!

As the New Year approaches, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and set the tone for the months ahead. ⌛ Here are three ways to make the most of this opportunity:

🤔 Reflect on your journey

Amid the holiday rush, it’s easy to forget about yourself. Take a moment to celebrate your accomplishments—big or small. Acknowledge your resilience and thank yourself for persevering through challenges.

🔮 Envision your future

Think ahead with an open mind. Trust your intuition but seek insight from those you trust—sometimes an outside perspective can offer clarity and direction.

✅ Set your intentions

Focus on how you want to feel as you pursue your goals, whether they’re about health, career, or personal growth. Stay flexible and embrace the possibilities, keeping your mindset positive and open to whatever comes your way.

🙌 Let #2025 be the year of opportunity and growth! What’s one thing you’re proud of from this past year? Share your thoughts in the comments—we’d love to celebrate with you!
