We invite you to join us at the Kelowna campus in the E Building Atrium from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. to share a cup of tea or coffee, discover resources and start a conversation.

Bell Let’s Talk promotes mental health awareness, acceptance and action. This year, Canadians are encouraged to keep talking, and keep listening.
