❤️Kindness drives connection – this week, do something thoughtful for a buddy or for others in your life. This is a tangible way to show them you care and that you’re there for them when they need you.

🫂 How to participate:
Do something thoughtful. Here are some ideas:
• Write a note to a buddy.
• Volunteer for a charity (e.g., the food bank)
• Bring snacks to work

🔗 Watch this campaign in action. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwCnTiRzza38I-iQp2-9eXzKIes-LJtWz&si=E2aBmFvvv17etZ-q

❤️🫂 Kindness and connection are life-saving.

🎗️📝 Research has found that those who received “caring letters” following a su***de attempt were less likely to re-attempt than those who did not. A seemingly small gesture of connection can be life saving.

❤️🧠 On February 4, 2026, Vermilion Mental Health & Wellness Symposium held its 10th annual event focusing on mental health.

The symposium featured three speakers.
🔗 Mike Cameron, the keynote focused on the power of connection in leadership and everyday life.
🫂 Chris Eskelson delivered a presentation titled Shattering the Stigma: A Personal Story. Through an honest account of his experience with depression and anxiety, Eskelson highlighted the real impact of stigma and the power of open conversation.
🌱 The symposium concluded with Kerri Lorenson with The Nest Project, who guided participants inward with a session on grounded wellness. Her presentation emphasized balance from the inside out, offering gentle, sustainable practices that support everyday well-being without relying on external fixes.

🌟 The event was made possible through the financial support of the Alberta Labour Market Partnership Grant, Town of Vermilion FCSS, County of Vermilion River FCSS, Walking Through Grief and Lakeland College and the planning committee partners including the above as well as Recovery Alberta Mental Health and Addictions, Vermilion & District Chamber of Commerce, VIBE, and Catholic Social Services. A big thank you to everyone who attended and the Lakeland College students who came for the morning session.

💸🥗 You can eat well on a budget! Before shopping, use flyers to search for deals, and use these items to plan your meals for the week.

❄️🍓 While shopping, choose canned or frozen vegetables and fruit, as they have equal nutrition to their fresh counterparts, but are often cheaper and longer lasting.
