The campaign is in partnership with the province’s Mental Health and Addictions Ministry, which will also include messages on television, social media and billboards. McLean is the ambassador of an awareness campaign the Canucks announced Monday by placing two ads around Rogers Arena. Three of McLean’s former teammates suffered through mental health issues and addiction to drugs and alcohol, including one who was suicidal, said McLean, who retired in 2001. Mental Health and Addictions Minister Judy Darcy said the campaign is meant to leave a powerful impression on people who could help others struggling in silence. “Turning the tide on this overdose crisis will take each one of us,” she told a news conference at Rogers Arena.
