Members of the community joined with the Mental Wellness and Suicide Prevention Committee for a community walk on Friday (Sept. 8) to raise awareness about suicide prevention and recognize World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10. Participants also received information and materials to help them engage in personal awareness activities. Suicide remains a major public health problem in the world, with approximately 12 people in Canada dying from suicide every day. Suicide is also the second leading cause of death amongst youth and young adults between the ages of 15-34.
