To mark World Mental Health Day, Canada’s leading general contractor PCL Construction is pledging a visionary $1.5 million donation to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, advancing a cause that deeply affects millions of Canadians, including those working in the construction industry.
“We’re proud to partner with CAMH and be part of the movement forging a better path for mental health and addictions support, toward a future where no one is left behind,” said Mike Wieninger, PCL Chief Operating Officer, Canada. “Our donation is more than a financial contribution, it’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to the wellbeing of our employees, our trade partners, and their families.”
One of the biggest issues in Canada’s health care system is the perception that mental health isn’t as important as physical health, even though one in five Canadians experience a mental illness in any given year. As Canada’s largest mental health teaching hospital and a global leader in research, CAMH sets the standards for care, research, education and leading social change.
