This World Mental Health Day, let us be a little gentler with one another.

Let us send love to those who are silently fighting battles no one sees, those who are learning to live after surviving their darkest moments, those who are grieving someone they love, and those who are still healing from things they struggle to put into words.

Let us remember those who feel alone even in a crowded room, and those who desperately need help but don't know how to ask for it.

Since the Gender-based Violence Program started in 2018, WAGE-funded projects have reached over 90,000 people, created more than 2,200 resources, and built or strengthened over 1,400 partnerships and collaborations.

On October 1, 2026, Minister Valdez announced an additional $427K to help She Matters United expand the project with more in-person community engagement activities to even more provinces and territories in Canada.

Survivors of sexual violence deserve access to timely, responsive and equitable supports and services, regardless of where they live.

Ann Bell is being honoured today for her years of public service. She began her years of public service as member of the local school board, then as a nurse, and later became involved in feminist advocacy. She was an early member of the Corner Brook status of Women Council and later became the first President of the Provincial Advisory Council on the Status of Women. She helped organize the first provincial Women's conference in the late 1970s and they brought 3 issues to the the governing PC party led by Premier Frank Moores. These issues were: Women on Boards and Commissions; Matrimonial property legislation; and the establishment of a Provincial Advisory Council on the Status of Women. She continued to advocate for women's voices in all areas of the public, for education changes and for gender equality.

Congratulations on this wonderful achievement! We are honoured to continue the work of you and your counterparts.
