For the second year in a row, the Town of Kindersley has proclaimed every Tuesday in 2023 as "Better Together Tuesdays".

Just in time for Canadian Mental Health Week running between May 1-7, Mayor Rod Perkins signed the proclamation on April 24. Perkins encourages everyone to learn about how great things happen when citizens come together; the importance of getting to know your neighbors, and how key intergenerational relationships are.

The latest news talks a bit more about how this project is a youth driven initiative, using the skills listed above to become a better person and gain overall resilience.

"Let’s support our local teens, championing 'WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER'." 

They have identified a gap between younger and older people connecting, and feel Better Together Tuesday's could go a long ways towards building that bridge. 

Another big factor is that evidence based research has found clear benefits when it comes to engaging our youth with the older generation. This includes improved feelings of well-being, decreased loneliness, along with the satisfaction from sharing knowledge and experience and enhanced social cohesion.

The Deputy Mayor Randy Ervine proclaimed every Tuesday in 2022 as Better Together Tuesdays in the Town of Kindersley. The Council encourages everyone to learn more about how great things happen when citizens come together; the importance of getting to know your neighbors, and how key intergenerational relationships are. Let’s support our local teens, championing “WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER”.
