Despite 1 in 5 Canadians experiencing a mental illness this year, stigma remains a huge barrier to people getting the help they need, especially in the workplace. It’s time we help make a change.
In support of the Canadian Mental Health Association, we at the Faculty of Education, will participate in the Not Myself Today® 2018 initiative. It aims to engage workplaces across Canada to support employees who are facing challenges, and create a safe and supportive workplace as it relates to mental health.

Dr. Blye Frank joined the academic procession at the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University's special honorary degree conferral on His Highness the Aga Khan on Friday, October 19, 2018.
His Highness the Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Shia Ismaili Muslims.

For over 60 years, His Highness has been one of the world’s leading advocates of a pluralist, cosmopolitan ethic, one that embraces human diversity as an opportunity and as an antidote to social fragmentation and division. A first for both universities, the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University are each awarding an honorary doctorate of laws degree.
