The Do More Agriculture Foundation and McDonald’s Canada have announced a new partnership focused on supporting mental wellbeing within Canada’s agricultural community.
The initiative emphasizes that mental health is a shared responsibility. By involving producers, industry groups, and supply chain partners, the discussion aimed to encourage open conversations, reduce stigma, and strengthen support networks for people working in agriculture.
"Mental health conversations often start around the kitchen table with family, neighbours, partners, or trusted peers who are willing to listen,” said Merle Massie, Executive Director of The Do More Agriculture Foundation and a Saskatchewan farmer.
