Every year our staff and admin enjoy pampering our Rosemont volunteers with a tasty and entertaining Volunteer Tea on May 24, 2024. Watch your inbox, we will be sending out the invites this week!
Hats on for Mental Health
Every year Canada Mental Health Association (CMHA) dedicates a week in May to raise the awareness of Mental Health. This year Mental Health Week will run May 6 - 10, and Hats On! Mental Health Day will take place on May 8. Albertans are invited to wear a hat to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. Participating schools will relax their hat rules and encourage students and teachers to build understanding by wearing hats to school.
Community Note
