Addiction Resource Coalition

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Addiction Resource Coalition’s Annual Mental Health BBQ at Kinsmen Park!

This was the 4th year this amazing event was held, and we are so grateful for the continued community support. A huge thank you to the volunteers from the Strathmore Royal Canadian Legion for cooking, Kickstand and Trellis Youth for face painting and manning the drinks table, Ashford Baker for his energetic Body Movement session, MaxSPL Music for providing music entertainment throughout the event, the Girl Guides for bringing yummy cookies, all of the vendors who attended to provide valuable information and resources, and Rescued Paws for their incredible Mother’s Day photo shoot and for showcasing their adorable adoptable doggos.

May 11–17 is National Mental Health Week, and this year we want to continue breaking down the stigma surrounding asking for help. Mental health struggles can affect anyone, and reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether it’s talking to a friend, connecting with a professional, or accessing community resources, seeking support can make a meaningful difference. No one should feel alone in their journey, and together we can build a community where conversations about mental health are welcomed, supported, and encouraged.

Hope to see you all back in 2027 😊
