Supporting Community Mental Health Support in Edmonton
Community mental health support is an important part of building stronger, healthier communities. During Mental Health Awareness Month, Waterloo Ford is proud to recognize the organizations and initiatives that help individuals and families access care, healing, safety, and support when they need it most.
At Waterloo Ford, giving back is about showing up for the people and communities around us. Through local partnerships, fundraising efforts, and community-focused initiatives, our team is committed to supporting organizations that create hope, connection, and meaningful change across Edmonton.
As part of CanadaOne Cares Dealerships, Waterloo Ford proudly supports charitable organizations focused on mental health, trauma support, wellness, inclusion, youth programming, and community care.
Waterloo Ford and Local Mental Health Initiatives
Waterloo Ford is proud to support organizations making a difference for individuals and families throughout Edmonton and beyond. These partnerships help provide access to counselling, safe spaces, advocacy, wellness resources, and compassionate support.
Organizations such as the Canadian Mental Health Association continue to provide important education, advocacy, and accessible mental health resources for Canadians. Community organizations like the YMCA also help create spaces where people can find connection, wellness programs, and a stronger sense of belonging.
Waterloo Ford and other CanadaOne Cares Dealerships have also supported organizations including Little Warriors, Wings of Providence, and the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton. These organizations provide vital care, resources, advocacy, and support for individuals and families navigating difficult circumstances.
Waterloo Ford, alongside CanadaOne Auto, Waterloo Lincoln, and Freedom Ford, was proud to serve as a Presenting Sponsor of the 2025 WINGMAN Campaign in support of Wings of Providence. The campaign raised an incredible $72,825 to help provide safe shelter, counselling, housing, childcare, and healing programs for women and children fleeing violence while also helping raise awareness and spark important conversations within the community.
CanadaOne Auto Dealerships also helped raise $85,000 in support of the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton, reflecting the power of communities coming together to support healing and recovery.
Waterloo Ford is also proud to participate in the Take Action campaign supporting the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton. Through teddy bear sales across participating dealerships, our team and customers are helping raise critical funds for survivors in need of specialized counselling and trauma support services.

Community support also extends into broader wellness and inclusion initiatives. Motionball continues to inspire communities across Canada through fundraising and events that promote inclusion and support for Special Olympics athletes, while organizations like The 705 provide compassionate mental health and addiction recovery support for individuals and families facing difficult challenges.
Mental Health Awareness Month Is About More Than Awareness
Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that support should continue long after May ends. It is about reducing stigma, encouraging open conversations, and helping people know that care and resources are available within their communities.
Every fundraiser, partnership, and charitable initiative represents people choosing to stand together. It reflects compassion in action and the belief that healing is stronger when communities show up for one another.
That is what community mental health support is all about.
Waterloo Ford’s Commitment to Community Care
At Waterloo Ford, supporting the community goes beyond the dealership. Whether through fundraising, local partnerships, awareness campaigns, or charitable giving, our team is proud to help support organizations that make a meaningful difference in Edmonton.
As Mental Health Awareness Month continues, we encourage everyone to check in on one another, support local organizations doing important work, and continue conversations around mental health with compassion and understanding.
