So grateful to be a part of this incredible campaign and community!

Let’s Fill the Bus and Let’s keep chatting!

I recently had the honour of speaking at the DeFazio Taylor Health & Safety Labour Seminar in downtown Toronto.

It was an incredible experience, one that I am very grateful for. Chat4Chad was founded in North Bay but our message is universal, a message of hope and positivity when we make talking ok and normal.

These conversations are never easy, but the outcomes can be life changing. When we share, we create a safe space for others to share as well, that is the power of conversation.

We all have the ability to help, so let’s keep chatting, EARLY, OFTEN, NOW!

In partnership with the North Bay Battalion, Chat4Chad was excited to hand out our new Battalion styled C4C hats!

You’ll see the Troops wearing them around town in support of Chat4Chad. You can get yours at the Battalion retail store with 100% of the proceeds going right back into our community to support mental health.

Let’s keep chatting and Let’s go Troops!

Let’s help make memories!!

Double the Impact, Double the Smiles 💛

This fall, your gift to YMCA Fill the Bus goes twice as far! Thanks to Century 21 Blue Sky Region Realty Inc. Brokerage & Chat4Chad, every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000.

That means even more local kids can pack their bags for YMCA Day Camps or John Island Overnight Camp where they’ll make friends, learn new skills, and belong. ☀️
Funds raised will help cover the cost of registration, running shoes, sleeping bags and other camp supplies, as well as camp equipment and upgrades.

Together with our partners at JET FM 106.3 North Bay's Classics, CFCH North Bay's Best Country, KidSport North Bay, the North Bay Battalion, and The Rotary Club of North Bay, we’re helping dreams take off.

Chat4Chad is extremely grateful for the opportunity to partner with the North Bay Battalion. I had the privilege of speaking with this incredible group of young men to emphasize the importance of taking care of your mental health. These conversations can be hard, but are necessary and need to start NOW!

Chat4Chad looks forward to working with the North Bay Battalion to help further awareness around mental health and su***de prevention.

Thank you to the entire organization for making the mental health of their players a top priority!
