TELUS and Calm Partner To Deliver TV Programming Focused On Mental Health It’s clear that COVID-19 is having far reaching impacts that go beyond that of the virus itself – just recently the federal government reported on the mental health consequences of the pandemic. Strengthening its commitment to improving the health of all Canadians, TELUS has announced a global-first agreement with Calm - an awardwinning mental fitness app - to bring sleep, meditation and relaxation content into the homes of Optik TV and Pik TV customers, through the TELUS Healthy Living Network. This collaboration is the first of its kind for Calm and will enable TELUS to provide mental health resources to Canadians of all ages as they deal with the stresses brought on by life during the COVID-19 pandemic. The content, which is free for all Optik TV and Pik TV subscribers, includes guided meditations, breathing exercises, and Calm’s Sleep Stories, bedtime stories for adults. www.telus.com | www.calm.com

North Shore Search and Rescue (NSR) is the busiest volunteer search and rescue organization in Canada. From daring helicopter mountain rescues to retrieving lost hikers and administering first aid, the volunteers risk their own lives to save others - and it's all happening right here in Vancouver’s North Shore. Local filmmaker Grant Baldwin and his production team from Peg Leg Films were embedded with NSR for a full year to get some incredible behindthe-scenes footage. To highlight their efforts, a new series is launching this month, showcasing some of the common issues that can arise while out in the wild. Search & Rescue North Shore is a 5-episode action-packed docuseries that will premiere on November 10th at 9pm (PT) on the Knowledge Network, highlighting our neighbours on the North Shore who dedicate their time and risk their lives to save others.
