William "Bill" Bone
Calgary, Alberta

A year after tragically losing his only daughter to suicide, William "Bill" Bone decided to give back to the community as a way to honour her memory. He began volunteering with the Canadian Mental Health Association-Calgary Region. Since that time, he has spoken with youth at local schools about suicide and its prevention. In addition to his current role as chair of the CMHA-Alberta Division Board, Mr. Bone has served in a number of positions with CMHA-Calgary and other related organizations, with the constant goal of educating Calgarians about suicide prevention, bereavement and stigma.
