2025 Bell Let’s Talk: How North York Residents Can Get Involved

Bell Let’s Talk Day has become a beacon of hope and understanding for communities across Canada—and especially here in North York, Toronto. Whether you’ve participated before or are hearing about it for the first time, this is your invitation to join a powerful, city-wide conversation about mental health. Together, we can help break down stigma and help our neighbours feel truly seen and supported where it matters most.

What Is Bell Let’s Talk Day?

Bell Let’s Talk Day is an annual mental health awareness campaign that encourages Canadians to speak openly about mental health, challenge stigma, and promote access to support and care. The event is celebrated through social media, community initiatives, and meaningful conversations held in schools, workplaces, and homes.

Each message, text, or social media share using #BellLetsTalk adds to the campaign’s goal of increasing awareness and funding mental health programs nationwide.
