Hike for Hospice
We are incredibly excited and grateful to invite our community to Barrie Family Hospice of Elgin’s first-ever Hike for Hospice on Saturday, June 6 at Waterworks Park.
This special morning is about so much more than a walk. It is a chance to come together in remembrance, connection, and compassion, to honour those we hold close in our hearts and to support families who rely on hospice care when they need it most.
Every step taken and every person who joins us helps ensure that compassionate end-of-life care remains available in Elgin County for all who need it. Whether you walk in memory of someone cherished, alongside loved ones, or simply to support your community, your presence will mean so much.
Join us as we walk together, remember together, and continue building a community where compassion leads the way.
Register today, we would be honoured to walk beside you.
