Innisfil proclaims Mental Health Week
Whereas mental health is an essential part of everyone’s health and well-being; and
Whereas Mental Health Week has been hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association in communities across Canada for over 70 years; and
Whereas, one in five Canadians experience a mental illness or mental health issue; and
Whereas all people in Canada need to promote, protect, and nurture their mental health; and
Whereas, this is a time for Canadians to come together to speak openly about mental health, listen with empathy to the stories of others, and support those who are struggling; and
Whereas promoting social connection is an important aspect of human life and an effective way to protect mental health; and
Whereas since the pandemic, our community members may be experiencing further difficulties maintaining their mental health and social connections; and
Whereas, help is available through organizations such as the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Therefore, I, Mayor Lynn Dollin, on behalf of the Town of Innisfil, hereby proclaim May 5 to 11, 2025, as CMHA Mental Health Week – Unmasking Mental Healthin the Town of Innisfil.
