It's Plaid Friday in Niagara

As part of the #ProjectPlaid Campaign, Pathstone Mental Health is asking you to wear plaid.

Today is Plaid Friday in Niagara.

Pathstone Mental Health is asking all of us to mark the day by wearing plaid in support of the #ProjectPlaid Campaign.

The campaign began in 2019 after the tragic loss of Amelia Durocher to suicide.

With a resolve to not let this happen to other kids and families, Amelia’s mom Shanta created #ProjectPlaid.

The goal is to increase the conversation around mental health and raise funds to support mental health programs at Pathstone.

This year, the agency has set a $30,000 fundraising goal.

As well, Niagara Falls will mark #ProjectPlaid by lighting up in black and red at 10:15 p.m.
