Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the fathers, grandfathers and father figures in our lives and the importance of men's mental health. June is Men's Health Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, promoting prevention and improving the health and well-being of men and boys.
To support this initiative, I will be hosting and playing in our third annual Dodge for Dads dodge ball tournament in support of mental health on the Friday of Father's Day weekend, because there is no dodging the importance of mental health. For this fun evening of physical activity and team-building, I will be partnering with The Well Community Collective, which is one of several wellness hubs across the Perth, Huron and Wellington counties that connect families and individuals with the resources, advocacy and safe spaces that they need.
I am looking forward to getting out and throwing around a few dodge balls in support of men's mental health, because if someone can dodge a wrench, they can dodge a ball.
