Pathstone Mental Health has set a $30,000 fundraising goal

The goal is to increase the conversation around mental health and raise funds to support mental health programs at Pathstone.

The campaign began in 2019 after the tragic loss of Amelia Durocher to suicide.

With a resolve to not let this happen to other kids and families, Amelia’s mom Shanta created #ProjectPlaid.

This year on November 26th, Black Friday, all of us are encouraged to make a statement and wear plaid.

At 10:15 pm, Niagara Falls will be illuminated Black & Red in honour of #ProjectPlaid.
