Kamloops councillor assembles Ride Don’t Hide team to raise awareness about mental health
KAMLOOPS — Sadie Hunter didn’t want COVID-19 to stop her from spreading the word about mental health.
“The Canadian Mental Health Association does a lot of good in our community, and every dollar that we raise in this fundraiser will stay in Kamloops,” she said. “I was pretty vocal about the fact that I have my own mental health struggle and I think a lot of people do. I think it’s high time that we take a more holistic approach to integrating mental wellness and physical wellness. There’s no distinction.”
Hunter put a team together for Ride Don’t Hide. It’s a fundraiser for CMHA Kamloops. Hunter convinced her fellow city councillors Bill Sarai and Arjun Singh to join.
