Chalk the Walk is now running in The Pas and OCN; the suicide awareness program is meant to help change the narrative and reduce the stigma that goes along with suicide.

World suicide awareness day is September 10th, and for the month leading up to that, Chalk the Walk will be happening.

The goal is to show your support for those affected by suicide and to help continue the stories of those who have been lost by covering a portion of the sidewalk in chalk drawings.

Artwork can then be submitted to the OHA to win prizes.

If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, there is help available; call or text 8-9-9 for 24-hour support.
