Steven Horvath was honoured with the Distinguished Contribution to Psychology award at the Annual General Meeting this year. Steven was a Board member and dear friend to many at BCPA. His humour, integrity and incisive intellect were greatly valued by all who knew him. You can see Dr. Foreman's speech at the AGM here.

The BCPA proudly supports the Canadian Mental Health Association's 57th Mental Health Week. The national awareness week will take place May 5th through 11th. The goal is to promote mental health awareness and education throughout Canada. This year's theme is "Mental Health: Make it Your Business" and focuses on the role that employers and businesses can play in making their workplace a mentally healthy and productive environment. BCPA is proud to be sponsoring the Psychologically Healthy Workplace Awards program in British Columbia, believing it to be a positive way to identify and honour those companies contributing to healthy and supportive work environments. By continuing the initiative in British Columbia, the BCPA hopes to heighten awareness of the importance of cultivating and sustaining psychologically healthy workplaces.

Psychology Month is an annual national campaign to raise awareness of the role psychology plays in our lives and in our communities. In 2003, the Council of Provisional Associations of Psychologists, a professional association comprised of professional associations and psychology regulatory bodies across Canada, created a unified advocacy movement. Establishing a month for the promotion of psychology continues to play an important part in this movement. This year, the BCPA would like to help you with your campaign. Downloading the BCPA's Psychology Month poster from this website and displaying it in your institution is a great way to help introduce the concept of Psychology Month and raise the visibility of psychology. For more ideas on what you can do for Psychology Month, see our list of suggestions. To find out more about campaigns across Canada, visit www.cpa.ca/psychologymonth.
