As part of World Su***de Prevention Day, Sept 10, 2025, the City of Winnipeg, Winnipeg Su***de Prevention Network and the Canadian Association of Su***de Prevention, held the second annual tree planting event for the Whittier Park Forest of Hope. The theme, Changing the Narrative on Su***de, aims to challenge stigma, highlight resources and provide hope. People were invited to plant trees in memory of families and loved ones affected by su***de. The City of Winnipeg donated trees and staff were helping with the planting.
