Presented by St. Raphael Wellness Centre and Aurora Recovery Centre, Recovery Day gives Winnipeg a chance to build awareness around addiction and mental health, challenge social stigma, celebrate recovery, and improves life for individuals, families, communities, and businesses.

Recovery Day, which happens every year in cities across Canada and the United States, supports those in recovery and their loved ones, aims to end the stigma of addictions and mental health, provides resources for those who might be seeking help, and brings the community together in unity to fight against such a terrible disease.

Recovery Day allows us to engage with our own stories of recovery, have our voice heard, and our passion demonstrated. Addiction impacts everyone. No one is safe from it. It runs rampant through our lives, even though not all of us are ready to acknowledge that it does.

This special day opens the conversation so that individuals and families will not experience shame in seeking help.
