CELEBRATING BELL LET'S TALK DAY
On January 22, our teams in Canada actively participated in Bell Let's Talk Day, an annual mental health initiative focused on raising awareness and combating the stigma surrounding mental illness. This year, our employees engaged in various activities, including filling out "let's talk bubbles" with messages about mental health and displaying them on a dedicated wall.
This visual representation of our collective commitment to mental health was a powerful reminder of the importance of open conversations and support. Our participation in Bell Let's Talk Day highlights our dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace for all.
