It’s Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

June is all about love, celebration, and standing up for equality! Whether you're marching in a parade, flying a flag, or learning more about the history and activism of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community - there’s no wrong way to show your Pride.

At the centre of the National Indigenous History Month design is the sun, symbolizing the summer solstice, a time of celebration for many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. The design represents each Indigenous group with a distinct symbol: the eagle for First Nations, the narwhal for Inuit, and the fiddle for Métis. The different colours symbolize the four elements of nature: earth, water, fire, and air. These elements show the deep connection Indigenous cultures have with the natural world. A stream of colourful smoke flows through the design, reminding us of Indigenous spirituality and reflecting the rich diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.

June is Indigenous History Month! 🧡

It’s a time to celebrate the stories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Canada. From art and language to history and resilience, There’s so much to learn and appreciate.

Top 3 reasons why 75% of people would be reluctant – or would refuse – to disclose a mental illness to an employer or co-worker: the belief a stigma exists around mental illness, not wanting to be treated differently or judged, and being afraid of negative consequences, like losing one’s job.

By the age of 40, half of all Canadians will have experienced a mental health challenge. Many individuals living with mental illness feel compelled to hide their struggles behind a "mask".

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the CMHA #UnmaskingMentalHealth week will be held from May 5 - 11.
