As we mark World Mental Health Day, which this year, has the theme of mental health at work, we want to acknowledge the service of our Armed Forces in Canada and on deployment around the world. Serving on behalf of our nation, requires resilience in the face of mental stress, both for those who serve and their families. Children from military families experience double the rate of mental health issues compared to children from civilian families. Today, we thank Serving Members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans and their families for their service and we stand ready to support them as they continue to support us. #WorldMentalHealthDay #SharedJourney _________ À l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de la santé mentale qui, cette année, a pour thème la santé mentale au travail, nous tenons à saluer le service de nos forces armées au Canada et lors des déploiements dans le monde. Servir au nom de notre nation exige de la résilience face au stress mental, tant pour ceux qui servent que pour leurs familles. Les enfants issus de familles de militaires sont deux fois plus touchés par les problèmes de santé mentale que les enfants issus de familles civiles. Aujourd'hui, nous remercions les membres actifs des Forces armées canadiennes, les anciens combattants et leurs familles pour leur service et nous sommes prêts à les soutenir comme ils continuent à nous soutenir.

I felt truly honoured to attend a special Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 event yesterday, co-hosted by True Patriot Love Foundation (TPL) and Veterans Affairs Canada / Anciens Combattants Canada. This event focused on how TPL, the Four Host First Nations, the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia worked together to bid and secure the Invictus Games 2025, and featured inspiring speakers and panelists, many of whom were instrumental to the win. During his speech, Nick Booth, CEO of True Patriot Love Foundation, emphasized how the partnership exemplifies Truth and Reconciliation in action and how the Games, Presented by ATCO and Boeing, will leave a lasting legacy on the traditional territories of the Lil̓wat7úl (Líl̓wat), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), the four host First Nations. Special thanks to panelists: - Wilson Williams, spokesperson for the Squamish Nation, for sharing his thoughts on the healing journey we’re all on together - Levi Nelson, the lead artist behind the Games' identity and medal design, whose work builds bridges between Düsseldorf and British Columbia - Tim O'Loan, Founder of ReconciliActionS Inc., and 2018 Games athlete, for highlighting the legacy and power of creating a circle of support and healing. And well done to moderator Amy Meunier, for skillfully guiding the discussions, drawing out very inspiring and heartfelt stories from the panelists. I'm just about ready to book my tickets - Vancouver / Whistler will be THE place to be between 8-16 February, 2025! #InvictusGames #Vancouver2025 #TruthAndReconciliation #VeteranSupport #IndigenousCollaboration #CommunityHealing
