We were so pleased to attend Celebration for a Cause for the Compassionate Grief Centre's 5th Birthday. Their incredible work and ongoing advocacy gives so much back to our community.

CGC has supported many disability organizations and individuals with Developmental Disabilities. They were named the Organization of the Year for 2025 at this past year's Disability Awareness Week for their ongoing contributions to accessibility for mental health resources.

We thank you for your advocacy and continuing to making mental health resources accessible. Every New Brunswicker should have access to the care they need, and CGC does great work to support this.

Also, a wonderful experience to hear Dr. Maria Murphy host a fireside chat with The Hon. Dr. John Dornan and Dr. David Elias! All in all, a fantastic way to support the mental health of our community.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a day to remember the legacy of residential schools in Canada and here in New Brunswick, and the children who never came home. The residential school system alienated Indigenous children from their family and culture, and Indigenous children regularly faced rampant abuse and high mortality rates. More than 150, 000 children were forced to attend these schools. The last residential school didn't close until 1996.

Today is a day to learn about the 94 calls to action and what we can do to help achieve them.

There will be an Indigenous-led Healing Walk today at the Trans Canada Trail at Rockwood Park. Come join and honour the children lost to residential schools. Come show support for truth and reconciliation.
