A community walk in support of mental health is taking place in Thompson tomorrow.

 

Defeat Depression Day started in Thompson back in 2013, and this year’s event is being hosted by Vale.

 

Stephanie Hysart, Prevention and Education Consultant with the Northern Health Region, says the walk has a full route planned through the city.

 

 

The event will also include activities and a free barbecue.

 

Hizert says everyone is welcome to take part, whether they walk, run, bike, bring a stroller, or bring a pet on a leash.

 

Organizers are also looking for volunteers. Anyone interested can call Jennifer Whalen with the Northern Health Region at 204-778-1589.
