Inaugural Brent Seal Mind vs Mountain Award
Presented by Canada West Mountain School
The Brent Seal Mind vs. Mountain Award is awarded each year to a young adult with lived/living experience with a mental health challenge or mental illness who has shown an interest in outdoor sports and adventures, as well as a commitment to community engagement and leadership. The award is to honour the legacy of Brent Seal, who was a relentless advocate for mental wellness, a passionate mountaineer, and a courageous and active member of the mental health community.
Speaker
From the Himalaya to BC’s Coastal mountains, Michael shares his stories of discovery and trauma, and friendship and joy. He brings his perspective of the primal connection we all share with each other, the mountain and Mother Earth.
