Incredible turnout this morning for the annual Walk to the Lighthouse - Walk for Mental Health. This event raises funds and promotes awareness of resources at Joseph Brant Hospital and in the community. The goal was $50,000 which they were well on track to achieve. We all know someone struggling with mental health. It’s not your fault and help is available, but we know there is not enough and it takes too long to receive. That’s why this event is so important. City Council has unanimously passed a resolution to the province seeking funding support for JBH mental health programs expansion. It was great to kick off the event with MP Karina Gould, MPP Natalie Pierre, Councillor Shawna Stolte, Eric Vandewall, President & CEO of JBH, organizers Teresa Baerg, Melanie Walker, John Reynolds and all the incredible sponsors, volunteers and of course all of YOU who walked. You embody our city mottto: Stand By. 🙏 (Natalie and I even got to have some fun in the Photo Booth) 😀
