About
Ride Don’t Hide is an annual event, put on by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). It is the most established, most extensive community mental health organization in Canada. Through a strong community presence in over 330 locations across every province and one territory, CMHA provides programs, advocacy and resources that help prevent mental health problems and illnesses, support recovery and resilience, and enable all Canadians to flourish and thrive. CMHA branches and regions provide a wide range of innovative services and supports tailored to the needs and resources of the communities where they are based. These programs and services help Canadians of all ages celebrate, protect and support their mental health so we can all thrive in meaningful and productive lives.
Every year, Clinic 805 sponsors, participates and fundraises in the annual Ride Don’t Hide event.
On June 4th, 2023, the Clinic 805 team will be participating in the Victoria, B.C. event to raise funds for CMHA’s programs and services.
Our team, as well as our family members, will be biking, walking, and running to support a world where everyone can achieve their full potential.
