A Queen’s Park rally is taking place Monday, May 3 in support of declaring May 7th National Child and Youth Mental Health Day. Beginning at 10 am, the rally will include such speakers as OPSEU President Warren (Smokey) Thomas, broadcaster Valerie Pringle, and a representative from the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
