While most people spent their summer camping or enjoying time with friends, Jade Dulle was on her bike, cycling from coast to coast. Her journey took her from Prince Rupert, B.C., to St. John’s, Newfoundland.
This cross-country trek was more than just an adventure. Dulle was driven by a mission to advocate for change in how Canada addresses mental health care.
“As someone with lived experience trying to access the mental health system, especially in Saskatchewan, I’ve faced all of the barriers,” said Dulle. “That inspired me to make a difference politically for people with lived experience.”
Dulle documented her journey on TikTok, enduring challenging terrain and harsh weather.
“I had to climb a lot of mountains, face cold frigid temperatures, but it was all worth the journey because this cause means so much to me,” she said.
