Several mental health programs and CAMH have teamed up to hold a competition identifying welcoming spaces (not-for-profit organizations and for profit businesses) which help to create a sense of inclusiveness, and being treated fairly and with respect. Information about this competition and voting can be found at TMIS.
Let's celebrate people who work to make our communities a better place to live.
