It's February 23 - that in-between season. The light is staying a little longer. The air feels different. We're not in full bloom yet, but we can sense it coming.
Almost as if spring reminds us that growth doesn't happen loudly. It happens steadily. Under the surface. In the small decisions to keep showing up.
That's what this community is built on.
As we move toward a new season, we're also preparing for something powerful: our upcoming fundraiser, SuperDads & Sidekicks. Every dollar raised goes directly back into Capillary Wave Community programs. Real support, Real conversations, Real spaces where people can exhale and not pretend they're fine.
We're looking for volunteers for upcoming events - women who want to be a part of something meaningful, who believe that community mental health support should be accessible, and who are willing to help us build what doesn't yet exist everywhere.
To become a Capillary Wave Volunteer~
If you know of anyone that is looking for extra support, a space to be heard, or just wanting to make connections, please share this link for new membership with them.
If this season feels like one of change for you, maybe this is part of it.
New light. New growth. New impact.
Have an amazing week
Gratefully,
Tanya Cornwallis

Because heroes start at home
SuperDads & Sidekicks is a family-friendly celebration honouring the everyday heroes in our lives — dads and the children who look up to them.
This interactive event invites fathers, kids, and families to step into a world of fun, imagination, and connection.
With costumed superheroes, balloon creations, kid-friendly activities, and plenty of photo-worthy moments, children get to meet their heroes — while dads are reminded that their greatest superpower is simply showing up. There will be a raffle with tickets available for purchase for your chance to win amazing prizes anywhere from Raptors/Blue Jay tickets to RMT massages and Hair Salon Gift Baskets. We will also have 50/50 tickets available for purchase. Children have free entry to the event. Each purchase of a admission ticket, you will receive 5 complimentary tickets for the raffle.
At its heart, SuperDads & Sidekicks is about strengthening bonds, sparking conversations, and celebrating the powerful role fathers play in shaping confident, resilient kids. It runs alongside our charity poker tournament, All-In for Conversation, reinforcing a shared message: strong families and strong communities begin with connection.
Whether you’re wearing a cape or holding a sidekick’s hand, this is a day to laugh, play, and remember — heroes don’t start in comic books.They start at home.
