Past Runs:
A Day in Yellow
Our intention with Yellow Shirt day is that by wearing Yellow, you are projecting support to your friends/family/coworkers and even strangers. Allowing others to see that you are here and willing to listen and provide support. Knowing that there are many willing to listen and help without judgement is an important message.

Mental Health Crisis Sign
Provide information in the community for anyone who may be struggling or who has a loved one who is facing an Addiction or Mental Health Crisis with a number to call for support.
Memorial Park
A memorial bench and trees are placed in Greenwood Cemetery in memory of the ones lost to suicide. All community members are welcome to use this space for their own journey.
If you would like to add a name of someone to the bench, please fill out this form. Names to benches will be added once a year for International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day.
