Drink Sponsor
The Sleeman name has been immersed in beer tradition for five generations. In fact, the Sleeman family wrote the book on it — literally. The Sleeman brewing tradition in Canada extends back to 1834 when John H. Sleeman arrived in Ontario from Cornwall, England. By 1851, he started the first Sleeman brewery to be located in Guelph, Ontario, brewing small 100-barrel batches.

I believe supporting associations which target mental health is paramount. The rise of mental health issues amongst adults is vast and the exponential rise in our youth is devastating. Everyone struggles in their own way. Some more than others. I think it’s another expansion of being there for one another and the betterment of humanity. Everything moves so fast now and personal engagement has dropped with technology. Some life skills and coping skills are falling through the cracks because of this. Supports are needed to fill those cracks so we don’t lose people who fall through them.
