Last month, we visited the Canadian Mental Health Association in downtown Fort McMurray to learn more about the meaningful work they’re doing across the Wood Buffalo region.
CMHA provides free, practical mental health education, peer support, workshops, drop-in programs, and outreach services that help people build the tools they need to thrive mentally and emotionally. Their work fosters connection, builds resilience, and ensures support is available when it’s needed most.
While learning about their programs was inspiring, what stayed with us most was the people. We spent time with a peer support group gathered around a table, making crafts and keychains, sharing stories, laughter, and conversation. It was a simple but powerful reminder that community, connection, and belonging can make all the difference.
At the Wood Buffalo Community Foundation, we’re proud to invest in organizations like CMHA that strengthen the well-being of our region by creating welcoming spaces where people feel supported, connected, and empowered.

🧠 That’s a wrap on Mental Health Awareness Month - but the learning and conversations continue far beyond May!

Thank you to the Fort McMurray Public School Division for having us at the École McTavish High School and Fort McMurray Composite High School Mental Health Expos! Students connected with community partners, unwound in relaxation corners, and even let off some steam in a school-friendly ‘rage room!’ 💙

By creating safe spaces for open conversations, and alongside organizations like CMHA - Wood Buffalo Region, we can reduce stigma and support girls in building lifelong tools for well-being.

Grateful to have been part of Beneath the Hard Hat with the Canadian Mental Health Association of Wood Buffalo.
It was powerful to stand alongside speakers from across Canada and the United States, all pushing the conversation forward around mental health in the trades. From the real costs companies face, to suicide awareness, to building resilience on and off the job site the depth of knowledge and lived experience shared was incredible.
I had the opportunity to teach Mental Health Skills in the Trades, connect with so many hardworking individuals, and share tools that I truly believe make a difference. I’m also incredibly thankful for the support selling books, having meaningful conversations, and seeing how ready people are for this work.
A huge thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who made this event what it was. You’re creating real change in an industry that needs it.
And to everyone I met thank you for the conversations, the openness, and the commitment to doing better for yourselves and your crews.

This is how we move the needle.

Caregiving often starts with one moment then becomes a daily act of dedication. Across Alberta, caregivers provide ongoing support to loved ones, often balancing many responsibilities. Their contributions are vital and they deserve recognition.

National Caregiver Awareness Month is a time to pause and recognize the emotional weight and quiet strength that caregiving carries. Many unpaid family and friend caregivers hold concern, exhaustion, and hope all at once, often without speaking about it. Acknowledging that complexity matters. It reminds caregivers that their efforts are meaningful and seen, even when they feel invisible.

Support can start with something simple: listening, offering help, or sharing resources.

For more information about caregiver resources and how to support caregivers please visit caregiversalberta.ca or call 1-877-453-5088.

2000 Push-Ups later! Thanks to everyone who followed along, sent words of encouragement, and donated to my campaign!

Together, we raised $1200 for our local Canadian Mental Health Association! I have nothing but gratitude for all of you!

It was so much fun doing push-ups all over Fort Mac, even when it was minus 30 outside. Amazing is definitely the right word to describe this experience, and I can’t wait for next year!

In the meantime, talk to your friends and your family, help lift each other up, and be a safe place to land when someone needs it!

Special shout out to my wonderful friend Rai, who edited this video!

Started at 7:00 AM with a mission, and 12 hours later, completely blown away by the energy, the support, and the conversations that took place on the Peace Bridge & Birchwood Trails.

The Numbers:
• ⏱️ 12 Hours: Constant movement from sunrise to sunset.
• 👣 More than 500 km: Combined by everyone who joined from many different places
• 👤 👤 Over 100 people joined at different hours & from different places.
• 💰 $7,900 Raised: Every dollar is going directly toward mental health support.
• 🤝 Countless Conversations: The most IMPORTANT number of all.

What We Accomplished Together:
• Normalizing the Conversation: We proved that talking about mental health belongs in our daily lives—out in the open, not in the shadows.
• Breaking the Isolation: From Calgary to Fort McMurray and beyond, we showed that no matter what you are going through, no one walks alone.
• Removing the Stigma: By showing up in force, we sent a message that seeking professional help is a sign of strength and community.

To everyone who walked a lap, sent a message, or donated: THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!
You didn’t just support a walk; you are empowering this mission!
Please tag and share!

The 12 hours are over, but the conversations don’t stop here. Let’s keep checking in on each other. 🕊️
