Illuminate: Champions for Change 2026

Thank you

Illuminate: Champions for Change brought together an incredible community of over 150 passionate individuals on April 30th at Arts Umbrella in Vancouver, all united by a shared commitment to creating meaningful change around mental health in Canada.

We are deeply grateful to our Champions, sponsors, partners and supporters who made this event such a success. Your presence, energy and belief in this work filled the room in a way that was truly powerful. This event reflected what’s possible when people come together with purpose and heart.

Together, we are building something impactful. This is only the beginning towards a Stigma-Free and Bit Happier future.
