Born in Hong Kong and raised in Ontario, dumpling master YiPik Tang loved the big family meals cooked by her grandma. But when she moved west to Squamish, to chase her love of the outdoors, Pik realized that something was missing: the familiar flavours of her childhood.
Determined to fill this void, Pik took matters into her own hands and started cooking the dishes she craved. Now, she’s sharing those flavours with the community she’s come to call home.

Can adventure and accessibility co-exist in Squamish? Chief Ian Campbell welcomes Therese Estacion to Squamish territory before a cook-off with Indigenous Chef Mr. Bannock and chats with para-alpine athlete Alex Cairns and cold plunge specialist Claudia Medina.

What is happening to us as we remove ourselves from nature and place ourselves into high-rises of steel and glass? What are the physiological tolls this displacement takes? Outside In, a Telus Original, examines the hard science behind a movement of healthy home design called biophilia, which suggests that building healthier homes can affect positive changes in our blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones. The film features interviews with renowned architects about the future of biophilic design, introduces viewers to homeowners experimenting with biophilic principles, and showcases Jennell Stanley, interior designer and mother, and her process in building a biophilic home from the ground up, focusing on the health of her young family.

Synopsis

After a lifelong battle with addiction, 43-year-old Haven Johnson finds sobriety – and with it, something unexpected: trail running.
With no previous running experience, she turns to the Squamish trails in search of stability, purpose, and a reason to believe in herself again.

This short film traces Haven’s two-year journey from her tentative first jog to completing the gruelling Squamish 50km Ultra.

Along the way, Haven discovers a trail-running community that lifts her up and pushes her forward, refusing to let her journey be a solitary one.

This is a story of resilience and the power of community that keeps showing up.
