Brawn Family Foundation Rotary Park
A Park with Wellness at its Heart
1 in 5 Canadian children will experience a diagnosable psychiatric concern in their youth. Research has proven there’s a direct link between nature and positive mental health. Time in nature can play a powerful role in healing, calming, and restoring our well-being.
Parks Foundation partnered with the Brawn Family Foundation, Rotary, The City of Calgary, Alberta Health Services, and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation to develop the Brawn Family Foundation Rotary Park, a green space designed to support youth and teen mental health recovery.
