November (Yearly - at Queens Park)
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month in the City of Pickering that is being observed in November, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues in our community and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health, and of putting a face to mental illness, I wanted to share Alex’s story. As many of you know, we tragically lost my son Alex to suicide on April 1, 2018. Alex was 27. He was an electrician with a job he loved and excelled at, he was engaged to a lovely girl, he had siblings who adored him, parents who loved and supported him, lots of friends and the apple of his eye was his niece Jamieson.

Nigel Wilson is a former professional baseball player who played both for the MLB and the International Pro Baseball League in Japan. Wilson primarily played as an outfielder as well as a designated hitter; which ultimately earned him much of his success. Wilson grew up in the Durham region and graduated from Ajax High School in 1988. Nigel was an all-around athlete; however, his passion was baseball. He attained great success in baseball very early in his adult life by turning Pro at the age of 16 when he got drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays & played for Team Canada. His talent and determination paved the way to a very prosperous baseball career. While in the MLB, in the 1992 expansion draft, the Florida Marlins chose Nigel as their first round, first pick draft choice. Other teams he played for were the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Indians. Nigel expanded his overall baseball experience by participating in winter ball in places like Venezuela and Puerto Rico and finally in 1997 testing his talent on an international level; he signed a contract with the Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan.
