People on the Move is supported by Boyden, connecting great leaders with great companies in Ottawa, across Canada and worldwide.
Mark Norman, former head of the Canadian navy and vice-chief of defence staff, recognizes all too well that not every veteran is in the same boat when it comes to transitioning out of the Canadian Armed Forces.
“When people leave the military, everyone leaves for different reasons,” says Norman in an interview to discuss his new role as senior defence strategist with Ottawa-based strategic consulting firm Samuel Associates. “Some are ready to leave, some leave earlier than they need to, some hang on to the last second.

+ May 16, 2021 POPE Paul VI (reigned 1963-78) must have been divinely inspired when, on June 14, 1966, he abolished the Index of Prohibited Books established by his predecessor Paul IV in 1559. The Index abolition released the works of St. Faustina Kowalska on Divine Mercy and those of Maria Valtorta which, since then, have continued to convert and inspire people worldwide.
That Paul VI had to be made a saint in our days- Oct 14, 2018- must also have been by Divine design, paving the freer flow of urgent apocalyptic messages now being conveyed via modern mystics, as they would otherwise have been trashed into the Index for some required decades if not centuries-long scrutiny. Paul VI must have mystically seen our times being bombarded with appeals for conversion and warnings from Heaven against eternal damnation in the face of a historic, nay, biblical ending of a gravely sinful era.
OTTAWA, ON, May 5, 2021 /CNW/ - The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) is a proud supporter of Mental Health Week. This year, as we face a third, taxing wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are urging people across the country to take stock of their mental health, name their feelings, and seek the support they need.
Many studies, including research we conducted with the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, tell the story of declining mental wellness since the onset of the pandemic.
During the last year, our COVID-19 resource hub has quickly grown to house a range of useful, timely, and relevant information that people can count on. In concert with other tools, like Wellness Together Canada, which offers free self-assessments and federally funded mental health resources, and the text and phone support available through Kids Help Phone, there are many avenues that will lead people toward help.

Children who experience the death of a loved one by suicide need to have a safe space to grieve where their likely complex feelings about it are acknowledged and they can ask difficult questions, a new guide from the Mental Health Commission of Canada says.
The document (PDF) recommends adults who must prepare for such a difficult discussion first reflect on their own feelings, and ensure they have someone they can debrief with afterwards.
“Talking about suicides or tragic events is uncomfortable, but it is so important to engage children in that discussion,” said Michel Rodrigue, who was named the organization’s CEO earlier this year.
Children who know someone who has died by suicide need to know their feelings about it are valid and that they will get honest answers to their questions, the Mental Health Commission of Canada says in new guide on the sensitive subject.
