OTTAWA – Health and Addictions Minister Ya’ara Saks is looking for pitches to help young Canadians who are struggling with their mental health.

The federal government plans to distribute $500 million for projects that help young people struggling to afford private mental health care services.

The funding comes from the five-year Youth Mental Health Fund announced in the spring federal budget to tackle the stress, anxiety and depression young people are facing amid a high cost of living and global uncertainty.

The government says the fund will support culturally relevant Indigenous programming.

Health Canada says nearly two-thirds of mental health disorders emerge before people turn 25 years old.

The department will accept project proposals until Jan. 22.

Halifax police have determined that the death of a young woman whose body was found in a Walmart’s walk-in oven was not suspicious and did not involve foul play.

The death of the 19-year-old employee in the store’s bakery was reported on Oct. 19.

Halifax Regional Police say they have informed the woman’s family of their findings.

A Sikh organization confirmed the body of Gursimran Kaur was found by her mother, who had worked with her daughter at the Mumford Road store for about two years.

The Maritime Sikh Society says Kaur, a Sikh woman originally from India, had immigrated to Canada with her mother.

Last month, Nova Scotia’s Labour Department lifted a stop-work order after officials determined the store had complied with safety standards.
