Aperol is Italy’s #1 spirit and a favourite across Europe.

Aperol was created in 1919 by the Barbieri Brothers - liqueur production specialists that established their reputation in 1880 - in Padova, Italy. New to Canada, Aperol has a unique bitter-sweet taste deriving from a secret recipe that has remained unchanged since its creation - a perfectly balanced combination of herbs and roots, with the distinctive aroma and taste of sweet orange and bitter orange. This versatile spirit allows for great mixability thanks to its colour, aroma, taste and a low alcohol content of 11%.

A unique and unmistakable recipe has characterized Campari, the aperitif par excellence, for over 150 years. The inimitable Campari recipe, used as the basis of many cocktails served worldwide, has been kept the same since its inception and has remained a closely guarded secret, passed down over the years.

Bitter Uso Olanda, as Campari was initially called, was the result of Gaspare Campari’s experiments in concocting new beverages.

It is still produced today with the same ingredients and following the confidential recipe which remains a secret known only to the very few people in charge of the production process. Campari is the result of the infusion of herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water; these last two being the recipe’s only known ingredients.

Frangelico is a traditional hazelnut liqueur - enjoyed neat, over ice, with coffee or in a wide variety of stylish cocktails.

Produced in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, its origins date back more than 300 years to the presence of early Christian monks living in the hills of the area. Their skills in fine food and drink would have included the art of distilling, especially the use of the wild hazelnuts and other local ingredients to create a liqueur on which Frangelico is based today. Frangelico’s name is also part of the same local legend - an abbreviation of Fra. Angelico, a hermit monk believed to have inhabited the magnificent Piedmont hills during the 17th century.

Partners for Mental Health (PMH), an independent not-forprofit affiliated with the Mental Health Commission of Canada is a grass-roots advocacy movement committed to repositioning mental health on the national agenda.

A national social movement, PMH is focused on redefining what it means to have a mental illness using the voices and actions of ordinary Canadians.

PMH comes to life through an annual national event promoting the power of mental well-being. These activities will be supported using web-based social media to create an online community of communities that will advocate for profound change in the policies, programs and supports that exist for mental health and mental illness; it will also challenge beliefs we have held about mental illness as individuals, families, communities, organizations and society.

THIS SPRING, PARTNERS FOR MENTAL HEALTH WILL ENGAGE CANADIANS IN A MOVEMENT DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING ONE OF THE NATION’S MOST CURRENT AND CRITICAL ISSUES. @NATASHANKPR
