Mental health isn’t just about what we’re dealing with individually - it’s also about how connected we feel to one another.

This year, Mental Health Week is calling on all of us to Come Together, Canada.

Through small, everyday actions of connection, we can strengthen mental health, reduce loneliness, and build healthier communities.

🌡️ Use a digital thermometer and insert it into the thickest part of the meat to ensure it is cooked.
🍽️ Use a clean plate when taking food off the grill.
🧼 Always wash your hands with soap and warm water before and after handling raw meat.

Starting July 1, Ontario is lowering the eligibility age to allow people to access publicly funded colorectal cancer screening to help more people receive life-saving screening services sooner.

This historic expansion will give more than one million additional people the option to connect to life-saving screening services to detect and treat colorectal cancer sooner.
