BC Place lights up yellow for Mental Health Week

May 4th, 2020

BC Place will light up yellow in support of CMHA's Mental Health Week on Monday, May 4th.

Every year since 1951, CMHA has hosted Mental Health Week in the first full week in May, making 2020 the 69th year. Each year, 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental illness or mental health issue, but 5 in 5 Canadians has mental health — we all need social connection. This year, the theme is 'social connection' and its importance for mental health. The campaign this year calls for us to #GetReal about how we really feel.
