Celebrate the start of summer with us.

The June solstice takes place on next Sunday, June 21 at 4:24 a.m., marking the longest day and shortest night of the year. It is a beautiful reminder to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy time with family and friends.

Whether you are spending the day outdoors, connecting with loved ones, or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself, we hope this season brings you warmth, rest, and joy.

From all of us at your MFRC, welcome summer.

💙 June is Men’s Health Month
At Grey Bruce OHT, we’re highlighting the importance of men’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
This month is a reminder to take simple, meaningful steps toward better health—book a check-up 🩺, move your body 🚶‍♂️, start a conversation 🗣️, and check in on your mental health 🌿
Small steps can make a big difference in long-term health and wellness.

💚 Looking for a simple way to talk with your child about wellness and mental health?

The Kids Help Phone Wheel of Well-Being is a great resource for parents to explore and share with youth. It helps young people understand how different parts of life — emotions, friendships, physical health, school, creativity, environment, and sense of belonging — are all connected. 🌎✨

This tool can open the door to meaningful conversations at home and encourage youth to reflect on what helps them feel supported, balanced, and well.

As parents and caregivers, sharing resources like this can help youth build healthy coping skills, self-awareness, and confidence in reaching out for support when needed. 💙

Take a few minutes to explore the Wheel of Well-Being together and check in on the different areas that help shape overall wellness.

Today, we recognize Canadian Armed Forces Day 🇨🇦

It’s a time to honour the dedication, courage, and sacrifice of the women and men who serve our country—at home and around the world. Canadian Armed Forces Day is not only about celebrating those in uniform, but also acknowledging the strength and resilience of the families who stand behind them.

From responding to natural disasters here in Canada to supporting international peace and security, CAF members play a vital role in keeping our communities safe.

Let’s take a moment today to show our appreciation—whether it’s a simple thank you, attending a local event, or learning more about the important work they do.

💙 To all those who serve, and the families who support them—thank you.
