About Our Challenge
In February, the Ottawa Rural Firefighters will be taking part in The Push-Up Challenge. We are challenging ourselves to complete a heap of push-ups between February 11-28, 2025 to #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Canada.
You can help us push for better mental health in Canada by joining us or donating to our Community.
All proceeds go to the Canadian Mental Health Association to support mental illness recovery and foster positive mental health outcomes in Canada.
Supporting CMHA National
Through a presence in more than 330 communities across every province and one territory, CMHA provides advocacy, programs and resources that help to prevent mental health problems and illnesses, support recovery and resilience, and enable all Canadians to flourish and thrive.
Présente dans plus de 330 collectivités réparties dans toutes les provinces et un territoire, l’ACSM œuvre en défense des droits et offre des programmes et des ressources qui contribuent à prévenir les problèmes et les troubles de santé mentale ainsi qu’à soutenir le rétablissement et la résilience afin de permettre à toute la population de s’épanouir pleinement.

This is a wonderful idea. Even if I live now in Alberta I support mental illness anywhere as it’s an important topic then needs to be addressed everywhere.

Hi Lars, I might be a little late, but I've been reading your updates on Slack recently and it has really inspired me to join you in this great cause. I am a big advocate for mental health awareness, it's an issue I grew up around and has affected me deeply. Thank you for doing this, and good luck on this journey.
