#SicknotWeak #EndStigmaNow

Working toward more "We" and less "I"...

The hardest conversations are often the most worthwhile...

We should be talking about our Mental Health or listening to someone talk about their Mental Health. We challenge you to tell your story #sicknotweak.

The challenge is to end the cycle...

It's long past the time for a new package...

What a fabulous afternoon of baseball with our Courtice Rotarians, Family and Friends! Let's go Blue Jays!

An enjoyable evening spent with Franco Scanga at our Thursday meeting. President Shannon facing the ‘Fear Factor Challenge’ of opening the box and revealing its contents or passing this possibly scary task on to another member.

See you then!
