It’s Bell Let’s Talk Day, and BC Place is helping to spread the word.
In partnership with the Vancouver Whitecaps, the 54,500-seat stadium will light up blue in support of mental health tonight.
"I realized talking to people was what helped… It's not something you should be ashamed of. Kids and adults, go through these kind of things all the time…"

The Whitecaps, of course, have strong ties to Bell given that the company’s logo is featured prominently on their jersey.
