Did you know – 29% of Calgarians don’t have timely access to mental health services and supports.

This World Mental Health Day, we invite you to join us virtually during your lunch break, and understand the crucial impact that support can have on our mental health and well-being, and how you can support your peers.

Elijah BeaverWorld Mental Health Day: Support Can Start With You

In the spirit of our journey to promote reconciliation, we would like to honour the truth of our shared history and acknowledge Treaty 7 territory and the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, that includes the Kainai, Siksika, and Piikani First Nations. We acknowledge the traditional lands of the Tsuut'ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations. We would also like to recognize the Métis people, and the Inuit people who have made their home here in Moh'kins'tsis, also known as Calgary.
