Thank you Carolyn Bennett, Parm Bains, Wilson Miao, and company for your visit!

RASS had the honor of welcoming the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, the honorable Carolyn Bennett today, as well as esteemed members of Parliament honorable Parm Bains and honorable Wilson Miao to our agency. We spoke about our services and the impact it has within the Richmond community, and got to engage in dialogue about the effects of mental health and addictions stigma in our city. This discussion included not only RASS staff and board members, but also two representatives from the Foundry Youth Advocates as well as a parent of a former RASS client.

RASS extends our gratitude to the honorable minister and MPs who came all the way from Ontario to listen to us and meet our small but mighty crew!
