Kevin's Testimonial:
OSI-CAN has helped me to find my road to recovery and for that I am eternally thankful. For me to pay-it-forward I asked to become a peer support group leader. I successfully completed peer worker training, and now I am able to use my journey of growth to help others.
OSI-CAN is recruiting Peer Group Facilitators

Chad Kennedy and the Sea to Sea TEAM stepped off in Cranbrook B.C. on April 4th 2022. Chad's mission is to not only "Define" himself and find his "Purpose", it is also to inspire others to speak of their injuries to keep the PTS conversation going. Funds raised during our walk across Canada will benefit Mental Health Initiatives revolving around our Emergency Service and Military Communities including our Northern Territories.
