MOVE
For Mental Health
In support of the Canadian Mental Health Association
Dear Resident Members, Let’s get moving for mental health! In any given year, 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental illness. But did you know that 5 in 5 Canadians (that’s ALL of us!) have #MentalHealth that needs to be cared for and protected? Move For Mental Health is a chance to bring mental health into the open, raise critical funds for vital mental health programs, and connect – to your mental health, to each other, to our community, and to the national movement for mental health! Moving your body and regular physical activity are proven to improve overall well-being and can reduce depression and anxiety. Even better, supporting a cause larger than ourselves and giving back to our community create a sense of purpose, contribution, and community we all need to thrive. This fundraising challenge is for everyone, whether you run, walk, roll, jog, or skip. We want to get moving together!
