Congratulations to the Coast Mental Health staff who ran and walked the Vancouver sun run this past weekend. Some were seasoned runners, while others were taking on their first 10K—we are so proud of everyone who challenged themselves and represented our organization at this incredible event!

Today, we honour and remember workers who have died, been injured, or made ill due to work-related accidents. At Coast Mental Health, employee safety is a top priority: investing in comprehensive health and safety policies and processes that keep our staff and residents safe.
