BC Place lights up for Mental Health Week

May 4th, 2021

BC Place will light up yellow for Mental Health Week across Canada on Tuesday, May 4th.

Every year since 1951, CMHA has hosted Mental Health Week in the first full week in May, making 2021 the 70th year. Each year, 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental illness or mental health issue, but 5 in 5 Canadians has mental health. This year, the initiative is focusing on how naming, expressing, and dealing with our emotions — the ones we like and the ones we don’t — is important for our mental health. The campaign calls for us to #GetReal about how we really feel.
