Bow Valley Mental Health and Addiction Week is introducing a new intake format for 2026.
This year, we are focusing on strengthening collaboration and partnership across programs. We encourage potential applicants to submit their area of program interest during the initial intake period (open until March 9). After the intake closes, we will connect individuals and organizations with similar program ideas and/or shared mental health and addiction focus areas. Our goal is to work together to build stronger, more impactful programs that offer enhanced supports and meaningful information at each event and activity. This approach is not one-size-fits-all. If you prefer to deliver your program independently, please indicate that in your intake submission.

In 2026, thanks to the Wim & Nancy Pauw Foundation and Banff Canmore Foundation,  partial funding will be available for programs to support delivery costs such as facilitation, supplies, facility rentals, etc.  Funding amounts and more information will be included in the final program application portal after March 9th.
