The Revelstoke Awareness and Outreach Program’s members celebrated their first decade with snacks, coffee and a pound cake from The Modern on Wednesday, September 30.
Mayor Mark McKee dropped by to cut the cake and recalled being there for its very first day 10 years ago.
“I might even be here for your next party,” he said.
RAOP, which is supported by Interior Health and the Canadian Mental Health Association, offers Revelstokians with mental illness a safe and welcoming place to meet, have fun, plan group activities and talk about the issues that matter to them. RAOP advocates for better public acceptance and understanding of mental illness and help ensure that its members are not ignored or shunned.
Here are a couple of photos from the party:
