CMHA plans art show, walk for Mental Health Awareness Week
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Battlefords branch will celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week, running from May 1 to 7, with a number of local events.
The organization will have an art show at the branch office at 1602 103 Street in North Battleford from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, May 1. People are invited to drop in, have a beverage and treat, and take in the display. Some pieces are also available for purchase.
The artists’ exhibition mainly features pieces created by CMHA clients who participate in CMHA programs, as well as by some CMHA housing tenants at the Independence Commons facility on Kramer Place in North Battleford.
“We’re pretty excited,” Battlefords CMHA executive director Michele Winterholt said. “I think we’re going to have a large number of people’s [work] to showcase.”
