The Vancouver Foundation previewed its Beauty Night video at its Vital Signs presentation on October 6th at the Roundhouse Community. We will share the video as soon as it is available. Many thanks to the Vancouver Foundation for producing the video, and for its support of Beauty Night Society.

One of the main themes of the Vital Signs evening was belonging: “People have an innate need to belong. We need a sense of connection to others and to our community in order to thrive. How our region fosters a sense of belonging, inclusion and participation is key to our vitality.”

The evening featured presentations from, and stories about, organizations that are involved in improving people’s lives, particularly through building community and creating support networks for people. Beauty Night is one such organization; by creating a safe space for women, and fostering trust and friendship, our volunteers and participants have been able to build a truly supportive community.
