There shall be no "Sunday scaries" on October 19th. Join SommWise Inc. and some of Ottawa's finest bartenders at Bayview Yards for the first-ever Sunday Sober Showdown, a non-alcoholic cocktail competition where creativity wins and everyone can partake.

This event is about more than competition: it’s about accessibility, inclusivity, and reshaping the culture of food and beverage in the nation's capital. It’s a sober celebration designed for everyone, whether you drink or you don’t.

A portion of the proceeds will support CMHA Ottawa’s Recovery College, a workshop series that helps our clients build the skills we all need to thrive.

Le 25 septembre marque la célébration annuelle de la Jour des franco-ontariens et des franco-ontariennes. Nous aimerions prendre un moment pour dire joyeux Jour des Franco-Ontariens et des Franco-Ontariennes à tous ceux qui célèbrent au sein de notre communauté de l'ACSM Ottawa !

Depuis plus de 400 ans, les francophones font partie intégrante de l'histoire de l'Ontario. En 2010, le 25 septembre a été officiellement déclaré Journée franco-ontarienne afin de rendre hommage au drapeau franco-ontarien, hissé pour la première fois le 25 septembre 1975. Créé par Gaétan Gervais, professeur d'histoire à l'Université de Sudbury, et Michel Dupuis, étudiant en sciences politiques, ce puissant symbole de la fierté francophone célèbre cette année son 50e anniversaire !

*****

September 25 marks the annual celebration of Franco-Ontarian Day. We would like to take a moment to say happy Franco-Ontarian Day to all those who celebrate in our CMHA Ottawa community!

For more than 400 years, francophones have been an essential part of Ontario’s story. In 2010, September 25 was officially declared Franco-Ontario Day to honour the Franco-Ontarian flag, first raised on September 25, 1975. Created by Gaétan Gervais, a history professor at the Univiersity of Sudbury, and Michel Dupuis, a political science student, this powerful symbol of francophone pride marks its 50th anniversary this year.

Ontario is home to the largest francophone community in Canada outside of Quebec, with more than a quarter of Ontario’s francophones living here in Ottawa.

This weekend, we were joined by the guys from Ottawa/Brockville-based metal band Ominous Eclipse, who presented us with a generous $3,000 bank note made out to CMHA Ottawa in honour of their late bassist and friend, Ryan Clements.

The funds were raised at the band's final show on August 1st at House of Targ, at which proceeds from the door and merch were donated to our organization. We're honoured to have been chosen as the benefitting charity in Ryan's memory, and would like to recognize JD, Theo, Graham and Evan (from left, pictured here with Susan), and share our sincere thanks.

We'd also like to thank Chord Productions, Gland, Maou Mindu and Serene Dark -- as well as all the supporters and Ryan's family and friends -- for such a generous gift, which will go a long way in helping us provide vital peer programming at our branch.

Also, fellas, thank you for the giving us the honour of being the first to hear your new band name. We'll keep it a secret.

We look forward to being a part of your next chapter. You will keep Ryan's memory alive through music.

Ce week-end, nous avons reçu la visite des membres du groupe de métal Ominous Eclipse, basé à Ottawa/Brockville, qui nous ont remis un généreux chèque de 3 000 dollars à l'ordre de l'ACSM Ottawa en l'honneur de leur défunt bassiste et ami, Ryan Clements.

Les fonds ont été recueillis lors du dernier concert du groupe, le 1er août, à la House of Targ, où les recettes de la billetterie et de la vente de produits dérivés ont été reversées à notre organisation. Nous sommes honorés d'avoir été choisis comme organisme de bienfaisance bénéficiaire à la mémoire de Ryan, et nous tenons à remercier JD, Theo, Graham et Evan (de gauche à droite, sur la photo avec Susan) et à leur exprimer notre sincère gratitude.

Nous tenons également à remercier Chord Productions, Gland, Maou Mindu et Serene Dark, ainsi que tous les supporters et la famille et les amis de Ryan, pour ce don généreux, qui nous aidera grandement à offrir des programmes essentiels à notre succursale.

Merci également, les gars, de nous avoir fait l'honneur d'être les premiers à connaître le nom de votre nouveau groupe. Nous garderons le secret.

Nous sommes impatients de faire partie de votre prochain chapitre. Vous perpétuerez la mémoire de Ryan à travers la musique.

La dépendance n'est pas un échec moral. Pourtant, la stigmatisation est l'un des plus grands obstacles au rétablissement.

La stigmatisation isole. L'empathie rassemble.
Lorsque nous passons du jugement à la compréhension, nous créons des communautés où les personnes (et leurs proches) se sentent soutenues.
