This morning, Dauphin’s Mental Wellness and Suicide Prevention Committee hosted a community walk for World Suicide Prevention Day.
Committee member, Eleanor Snitka says that of all the events they have done, a walk was the right choice for this year:
"We've done different activities over the years, but I think I really like the idea for a walk for this year."
Everyone who came to the event received an orange ribbon, information cards about self-care and mental health, as well as a candle:
"Everyone across the world is encouraged to light a candle in their window tonight at eight o'clock to remember somebody or in honour of somebody who's struggling or who has lost someone."
The walk concluded with hot dogs provided by the Dauphin HERO Club at the United Church.
