We are asking everyone in Eeyou Istchee to participate in an at-home candle light vigil at 8:00 pm. Please take a moment to light a candle at home for those we have lost to suicide.
If you or someone you know is feeling overwhelmed, sad or anxious, you can get help from your local CMC, police or fire department.
