Today is World Suicide Prevention day, and the Grande Prairie Suicide Prevention Resource Centre has a couple of events planned to help get the conversation started around mental illness and suicide.
Along with the west side Esquire’s Coffee House, the centre is having a chat over coffee until 4 pm today.
They’re also encouraging people to light a candle near a window at 8 pm today to show support and in remembrance of a loved one lost through suicide.
There is also the “From Darkness to Light” walk happening at 6 am on Saturday at the Dunes Golf and Winter Club.
