UPEI Panthers say it's time to talk

CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. – The UPEI basketball teams are partnering with Bell Aliant tonight to present Bell Let’s Talk Night.

The Panthers host the Cape Breton Capers at 6 p.m. (women) and 8 p.m. (men). There will be activities to help encourage everyone to join the conversation about mental health.

“I am very pleased to have our student-athletes taking on a leadership role in the promotion Bell Let’s Talk in support of mental health,” said Chris Huggan, director of UPEI Athletics and Recreation. “For those impacted by mental illness, stigma can be one of the greatest obstacles. I’m proud that we’re part of the effort to get people talking. I hope you'll come out and cheer on our teams and support Bell Let's Talk.”
