A 2025 study by the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation revealed that stress and depression levels among Canadian men have increased.

One natural solution to the isolation problem is to participate in pleasurable activities with friends.

Rotary International has over 46,000 clubs around the world, with a total of 1.4 million members globally.

A Rotary -linked charity has become one of the largest funders of mental health research in Australia .

The one-day session will be held on June 26, 2025 .

It's open to the public, and registration information can be found at www.jameswheelerdavidson.com.

Dr. Robert Lampard , a long-serving Alberta physician and historian, organized the event.
