The Vernon branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association is looking for people who support mental health to appear in a video showcasing their programs.

Executive director Julia Payson says the video shoot will be this Friday at 3 pm at their office at 3100 28th Avenue.

“The call is open to anyone in the North Okanagan interested in appearing in a group shot of a variety of community members smiling and interacting to show support for mental health in our communities.”

Payson says the group scene is part of a video that will showcase some of the many programs and services offered by CMHA.

“The project is part of the Downtown Vernon Association Video Co-op program. Neil Scott from Strategic Video for Business Inc. has partnered with DVA and its members to create a series of videos showcasing downtown Vernon businesses and associations,” adds Payson.
