In 2023, the Wellness Team was able to unveil 3 years worth of work with SMILES and their Rural Mental Health Project, with the opening of the Mental Health Legacy Exhibit at the Millet Museum.
The exhibit showcases student and adult artwork submitted for several Mental Health Artwork contests hosted over the 3 years, as well as works to destigmatize mental health by offering information and resources about mental health and wellness.

The Alberta Healthy Communities Initiative involved 19 rural communities partnering with Alberta Health Services (AHS), Cancer Prevention and Screening Innovation (CPSI) to learn and engage in the Alberta Healthy Communities Approach (AHCA). The initiative was based on the principle that, when working together, communities can determine their own solutions to create community environments that support and encourage healthy choices.
