This , we’re focusing on hydration!

Drinking enough water helps boost productivity and support your body’s key functions. On average, women should aim for about 2.7 litres (11 cups) of fluids per day, while men should aim for around 3.7 litres (15 cups).

Try keeping a water bottle nearby, infusing your water with fruit for extra flavour, or setting reminders to sip regularly to make sure you’re getting the fluids you need.

Here at Iridia, we remain deeply committed to Truth and Reconciliation. Our team is taking time to reflect and deepen our understanding of Indigenous history. Through meaningful conversations, we honour the past while working to foster a more compassionate future for all.

In Vancouver, tomorrow’s Intergenerational March at UBC offers an important opportunity to honour Residential School Survivors and their families while learning about the impacts of colonialism and Indigenous resilience.

For those unable to attend in person, there are also many free online resources, such as the “Introduction to Reconciliation” webinar from the First Nations Public Service Secretariat, or UBC’s “Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education” course, which provide ways to deepen understanding year-round.

We encourage everyone to continue this journey of learning and to seek out meaningful opportunities to listen, reflect, and take action.
