According to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, one in two Canadians have or have had a mental illness by the time they reach 40, which prevents nearly 500,000 Canadians from working each week.

With this statistic in mind, the Calgary Chamber is pleased to work with Cenovus Energy as our Mental Health Pillar Partner. This three-year endeavor will focus on promoting better mental health and encouraging employees, leaders and employees to maintain an ongoing focus on their well-being and the well-being of those around them.

Cenovus has prioritized mental health across its company through thoughtful discussion and effective resources and now will be partnering on the Chamber’s mental health events, including the Mental Health Forum and the National Depression Screening Day event. The Cenovus team will also support continuous thought leadership in the mental health space, distributed through the Calgary Chamber’s website and social channels to increase reach to Calgary’s business community.

Through this partnership, the Chamber will work with Cenovus to provide specialized programs, amplified focus on open discussions about mental health and proactive approaches to addressing mental health concerns. Stay tuned for the launch of this programming later this year.
