🌎World Mental Health Day 2026
🧠World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to meaningfully engage with people with lived experience (PWLE) of mental health conditions and to recognize their knowledge as a vital form of expertise. This year’s campaign calls for their voices to shape the policies, services and decisions that affect their lives.

📢The 2026 theme, set by the World Health Organization, calls on governments, organizations, and communities to prioritize mental health as a fundamental human right and to ensure that people with lived and living experience are at the centre of that work.

🇨🇦In Canada, the Mental Health Commission of Canada leads the national conversation, connecting evidence, knowledge, and lived experience to drive meaningful systems change.

👁️Harnessing Harvest Orange for Eye Health: Give ‘em pumpkin to talk about🎃
🍴Getting enough beta-carotene through food doesn’t need to be complicated. Fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables are all good options. Try adding an orange vegetable to a dish you already prepare. For example, frozen carrots or squash can be blended in a soup or pasta sauce. Add fresh carrots and orange peppers to a stir-fry or slice them up to eat with a favourite dip. Use cooked or canned pumpkin to add moisture and flavour to baked goods.

🧐Harnessing Harvest Orange for Eye Health: 24 Carrot Gold 🥕
🥕Many orange vegetables are high in carotenoids like beta-carotene and lutein, which are plant compounds that convert into vitamin A in our body. Vitamin A helps our eyes convert light into brain signals and maintain vision at nighttime. It’s also important for our skin, immunity, and wound healing. Canada’s Food Guide recommends eating orange vegetables a few times per week to help you get enough vitamin A. Carotenoids can also be found in leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale, and collard greens.
