Men's Mental Health Awareness Month

We're proud to partner with and to help bring mental health resources directly to where many men spend their days... on the job site.

Throughout the month, the CJAY 92 team will be popping up at job sites across Calgary sharing Care Cards that connect individuals and families to mental health resources, support services, and community programs.

The reality is that men account for approximately 75% of su***de deaths in Canada. Many struggle in silence, believing they need to carry the weight alone.

That's why a simple conversation matters.

If you see the CJAY 92 crew on your job site, stop by, grab a Care Card, start a conversation, and share the resources with someone who may need them.

You never know what someone is carrying.
You never know who needs to hear they're not alone.
You never know when one conversation could save a life.

Together, we're making mental health more approachable, one conversation at a time.

Mental Health Week started May 4th with an important reminder for us.

Checking in on someone matters more than we realize.

We kicked off the week with , we intentionally created an experience centered around golf, conversation, connection, and sharing access to mental health resources.

Because the real impact wasn’t just on the golf course. It was in the conversations between shots, the cart rides, the walks down the fairway, and the moments where people felt comfortable enough to open up.

You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.

Fairways to Wellness exists to create space for those conversations to happen naturally and to remind people they don’t have to carry everything alone.

Sometimes the smallest action, a text, a phone call, a simple “How are you really doing?” gives someone the opportunity to open up when they otherwise wouldn’t.

Mental health conversations don’t need to start at a breaking point. They need to become part of how we show up for each other every day.

Share this with someone you’re grateful checked in on you.

This grew because it mattered.
Five years ago, Curtis and Steve started DAY1DADS Impact Foundation with a clear belief mental health support should be accessible, discreet, and grounded in the community.

What began as an idea has grown into a platform that brings people together while allowing individuals to seek support on their own terms.

Golf has always been part of that connection. Not as a competition, but as a connector.

Fairways to Wellness exists because golf creates space for conversation and presence.

As we mark five years, we’re proud of how far this community has come and excited for what’s ahead

🥰 Thankful Tuesday 🥰

Over the weekend we celebrated with from Royal Lepage and his incredible team, Upper Lip Legends. They raised over $17,000 during Movember and donated $1,700 directly to DAY1DADS Impact Foundation. We have turned this donation into custom Care Cards that Doug and his team will be able to distribute to their network, clients, and loved ones.

These Care Cards unlock access to therapy, counselling, and mental health resources. Every card can support someone when they need it most. Real conversations, real support, and real community impact.

Doug and the Upper Lip Legends took action for men’s mental health and the ripple effect will be felt far beyond the month of November. Thank you for showing what local leadership looks like and for making mental health approachable in everyday life.

Together, we keep pushing forward.
