Today we remember all those affected by su***de:
- Those we’ve lost
- Survivors whose strength reminds us that healing is possible
- Families and friends who carry love and grief
- Frontline workers—healthcare providers, first responders, and community support staff—whose dedication matters deeply, whether through lives saved or moments of heartache.
Across Brantford and Paris, local events—including walks, flag-raising ceremonies, and talks—are happening throughout the day.

Su***de is preventable. By listening, showing compassion, and standing together, we can nurture hope and remind each other that no one is alone.
