This summer I am looking forward to celebrating Canada day at Riverside Park. My Favorite part is eating cake and watching fireworks. I also enjoy music in the park which begins in July. It is a nice place to relax outside with friends or family. I am hoping to go to Salmon Arm Waterslides with my friend Ben! It will be my first time and not only do they offer waterslides but a 9 hole mini golf course as well.
Demi Lovato is coming to Vancouver August 24th as well as Nick Jonas. She is a mental health advocate on her bipolar disorder which she speaks openly about along with her music career.
I love Demi Lovato because for one she speaks out supporting individuals with a mental illness to decrease the stigma around mental health. 1 in 5 people in the general population can have a mental illness but this is even higher for people with developmental disabilities. Nick Jonas is from the Jonas brothers and I really love supporting people who have the same beliefs as I do. The tour is called the Honda Civic Tour.
If I go to the concert I would like to go to the PNE as well. The PNE is on at the same time as Honda Civic tour. I will be spending time with my Mom at Honda Civic Tour then after spending time with mom. We will be going to have a nice summer and be on a little vacation with my Mom, Cliff and I. I don’t agree with stigma and discrimination of any kind so I am grateful for celebrities speaking out on mental health issues or any disabilities as it’s a chemistry in the brain and is beyond people’s control not being their fault. We need to reduce stigma and discrimination around mental health issues.
