Lifting the Silence - Suicide Awareness March

September 10, 2010

Sir Winston Churchill Square

Lifting the Silence   
Edmonton’s Annual Suicide Awareness March

Every year, approximately one million people die by suicide around the world.  This means nearly one life is lost to suicide every 40 seconds. Suicide is the leading cause of death worldwide.                                                                                                  

The Support Network invites you to join us inraising awareness for suicide prevention and honouring the lives lost to suicide.
