💙 DEFEAT DEPRESSION 2026 IS ALMOST HERE! 💙

We’re gearing up for one of the most powerful days of the year at The Pottle Centre — and we want YOU to be part of it.

📅 May 30, 2026
📍 Bowring Park
🕐 1:00 PM (Registration opens at 12:00 PM)

Join us as we come together as a community to support mental health, share stories, and remind each other that no one has to walk this journey alone. Whether you're walking in honour of someone, for your own healing, or to stand in solidarity — every step matters. 💛

✨ Expect:
✔️ A scenic walk
✔️ Inspiring speakers
✔️ A welcoming, supportive community
✔️ Connection, hope, and impact

🎉🐾 We Have a Winner! 🐾🎉

A huge congratulations to Deanne OBrien and her adorable pup, Piper O’Brien — the official winner of our Defeat Depression Mascot Contest 2026! 💙🐶

Piper will be helping us raise awareness and spread positivity as the furry face of our Defeat Depression campaign for 2026.

We want to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who entered and shared their amazing pets with us. Every submission truly warmed our hearts and reminded us how powerful the bond between people and their animals can be. 🐕🐈🦜

✨ Keep an eye out over the next few weeks for our “Piper Says” series — fun, uplifting posts from our new mascot to brighten your day and help us all defeat depression together.

Something meaningful is on the way 💙
