LOVE NOTES

💌 Love Notes for World Mental Health Day

October 9–10, 2025 | Across Halton Region

In honour of World Mental Health Day (October 10th), Halton Black Voices is launching our Love Notes Initiative — a community action to uplift and support Black men’s mental health.

Over two days, we’ll be travelling to locations across the Halton Region and posting handwritten Love Notes — words of encouragement, hope, and kindness — for the community to discover. These notes are small reminders that mental health matters, and that no one is alone in their journey.

Thursday, October 9 - Burlington + Oakville

Friday, October 10 - Milton + Halton Hills

🌟 Volunteer Opportunity:
We’re calling on community members to help us spread love and positivity! Volunteers will join us in placing Love Notes around town — a simple action that can have a big impact.

📅 When: October 9–10, 2025
📍 Where: Various locations across Halton Region
💬 How to Help: Sign up through our website or DM us to get involved.

Together, let’s show our community — and especially Black men — that love and support are everywhere. 💜
