Faith leaders in Saskatchewan have come together to call for greater efforts to prevent suicide.

Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Ukrainian Catholics, Presbyterians, Unitarians, the United Church of Canada, Jews, Muslims and Bahá’ís, were among the leaders to sign a statement, the Anglican Journal reports.

The statement calls on “faith communities, the Government of Saskatchewan and all sectors of society to work together to establish a comprehensive and effective suicide prevention strategy.”

The AJ reports that the statement was inspired in large measure by the Walking With Our Angels vigil by Tristen Durocher, who started the vigil after the Saskatchewan legislature voted down an opposition member’s bill that would have recognized suicide as a public health issue and prioritized suicide prevention.

Anglican Bishop of Saskatchewan, Michael Hawkins, says Durocher’s walk and vigil was “probably the most significant [effort for raising] awareness… that I’d ever seen, in this province at least, about the terrifying reality and numbers and heartbreak around suicide in the north of the province.”
