I’ve always found it helpful to not separate life into work, play, school, vacation. I think human beings are happier when we take more of a ‘life is life’ perspective.

They have been internationally recognized for their work, which includes a Stop the Stigma campaign on behalf of the Canadian Mental Health Association and the Completely Pure campaign for Cross Country Ski Canada.
