Mr. Speaker, the “Surfe la vague”, or ride the wave, kindness challenge came to an end on March 27. Over the course of 21 days, people were asked to show kindness and empathy by taking care of themselves and others and sending messages of compassion and support to help everyone's mental health. This initiative was created by the Haute‑Yamaska regional county municipality, the City of Granby, the Corporation de développement communautaire de la Haute‑Yamaska, the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de l'Estrie, the Granby CEGEP, the Centre de services scolaire du Val‑des‑Cerfs and the Haute-Yamaska users' committee. In short, many people were involved in creating this project developed by Haute-Yamaska, which brought together over 75 partners from different sectors who wanted to raise awareness about the collateral effects of the pandemic in order to enhance the resilience of communities and individuals facing this new pandemic reality. I am proud to wear this button in support of creating a huge wave of kindness and positivity in our communities after two years of COVID-19. Let us hope that “Surfe la vague” will spread elsewhere in Quebec. Congratulations to all those who worked on and participated in this challenge.
