Chat4Chad is proud to support Community Living North Bay and the new services they will be providing to their clients and caregivers.

Together we can do great things!

Let’s keep chatting!

Community Living North Bay is incredibly grateful to Chat4Chad for their generous donation and partnership.

This donation will allow CLNB to provide new addictions counselling services to both our clients and their caregivers. This funding directly supports people with complex needs and those who love them.

This new program is inspired by 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 training philosophy, created by CLNB’s Jill Faber and inspired by Sam Hotte. It offers an evidence-based, human-centered approach to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and substance use by ensuring compassion, dignity, and a person-centered methodology.

Thank you to Chat4Chad's Wade Ringler and Mark Deacon, and special guests Paul Turcotte and Tracey Hotte for joining us today.

Late last week we were honoured to welcome members of the Ringler Family as they presented a generous donation on behalf of Chat4Chad, in support of mental health programs and initiatives at our hospital.

This year, their remarkable contribution will help bring 12 patient-centered mental health projects to life. From music therapy to smudging kits, Chat4Chad is having a meaningful impact on patient care!

Thank you to Wade, the Ringler Family and Chat4Chad for your continued investment in exceptional care, close to home.

It’s taken me a couple of days to gather my thoughts and express how deeply grateful I am to our community. Your incredible show of love and support is truly remarkable and demonstrates that when we come together, amazing things can happen!

Over 600 of us united to laugh, cry, sing, and dance—a truly special experience that we should all take pride in! Meaningful conversations were sparked, and feelings were shared, which is the heart of Chat4Chad.

Thank you to the amazing volunteers, sponsors, donors, and everyone who contributed to making this night unforgettable!

Remember, what truly matters is that you are here; we need you! So let’s continue to share, be open, and normalize these conversations.

I’m excited for another year filled with conversation and positivity!

Forever grateful,

Chat4Chad & The Ringler’s
