Mike Davies/Campbell River Mirror North Island – Powell River MP Rachel Blaney speaks with Beacon Club Administrator Robyn Ellsworth before this past weekend’s Defeat Depression Walk, which raises funds for the club’s programming and helps break the stigma surrounding mental illness.

“It’s important.”

That was the message North Island - Powel River MP Rachel Blaney had to share with those in attendance Sunday at the 5th annual Campbell River Defeat Depression Walk, which took place at Robert Ostler Park.

The walk is put on each year by the staff and volunteers of the Beacon Club, a non-profit day program and social club on Pier Street for adults with mental illness, and is one of their main annual fundraisers in support of their programming and those who make use of it.
