Pathway to Mental Health
On Sunday May 4th a small but mighty group of Rotarians (Chris, Kirsten, Dan, Terry, Marcus, Sue and Martin) and guests (Lynne, Terry’s wife and Zane, Samson’s grandson) met with Douw Vorster, Community Development Worker – Metal Health at the Riverfront Park parking lot. Douw had brought two sets of signs supporting Mental Health week (May 5 -11) and the group spent an enjoyable hour and a half placing the signs along two sections of pathway – Riverfront and Glenbow. These signs will stay up until the end of June and there is a QR code at the end of each section with a survey for your comments. Huge thanks to everyone involved.
