Mental Health Week - The Proclamation



Last Tuesday May 5th, 2009, His Worship the Mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson proclaimed Mental Health Week for the City of Vancouver.


This event was notable for several reasons. First, because it was my first opportunity to address council on the importance of mental health promotion for all its citizens.


Secondly, because the MPA Society, represented by their Executive Director, David MacIntyre, was the co-recipient of the proclamation. This was a public demonstration of the partnership and shared values between our two organizations.


Lastly, because CMHA is working to further its community presence and we are proud to work with our civic elected and administrative officials to build stronger healthier communities.
