What a difference a year makes. While the 2021 Virtual Inspiration Awards held Thursday night in the downtown Delta Hotel was a much smaller event than last year’s grand and splendid affair, it was certainly no less special.
The Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health honoured Carleton University president
Benoit-Antoine Bacon,
Charlotte Smith and
Samantha Nadon for work they’re doing in the community to tackle mental health stigma and to raise awareness. Clinical neuroscience researcher
Jennifer Phillips received the Young Researcher Inspiration Award for her ongoing studies on depression and suicide prevention.
A net total of more than $415,000 was raised for patient care and mental health research at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.
