📢 AMHO is expanding its Persons with Lived/Living Experience (PWLLE) Advisory Panel, and we're looking for new voices to help shape our work.

This is a chance for PWLLE accessing mental health and addictions services to bring their passion and perspectives directly into system-level advocacy. Panel advisors will:

✅ Advise AMHO on key priorities and decisions
✅ Identify perspectives that may be missing from our work
✅ Help ensure the voices of people who use mental health, substance health and addictions services are meaningfully reflected across everything we advance

Andrew volunteers at the food bank these days. But he was a teacher and this young man was his student. This young professor just won the Field's medal in Mathematics which is a big thing. About the 0;43 second mark you can see Andrew being interviewed about his famous student. (Note the Allan Gardens Food Bank t-shirt). You can watch the video on CBC.
