Annual Hike for Hospice

May 27-29, 2022

Hike for Hospice is Hospice Northwest’s only major fundraising event of the year. Together, we have raised over $500,000 for palliative care in our community since 2012!

Once again this year, we are encouraging Hikers to snap a picture while hiking and send it to hike@hospicenorthwest.ca or tag us on Facebook or Instagram using #HikeforHospiceTbay

In-Person Hike

If you would like to participate in our in-person event, we will be meeting at 11am on Sunday, May 29th at Current River Park. More details below.

Virtual Hike

If Hikers can't make the May 29th gathering, they also have the option to walk where they are most comfortable over the weekend of May 27-29th.

Memorial Video Montage

If you would like to display a photo of a loved one in our video montage , please email us the photo before May 20th. Emails can be sent to hike@hospicenorthwest.ca.

The video will be ready to watch on Friday for those that chose to walk prior to Sunday. We'll have the video available on our Facebook page, YouTube, and here on our website.

Partipants from a previous Hike for Hospice

Partipate in Our In-Person Hike

Join us on May 29th at Current River Park from 11am-3pm.

We'll have local vendors, including food trucks, kid's area with clowns, a bagpiper, Sounds of Superior choir, and more to celebrate Hike for Hospice.

For those who have cash donations to drop off, or who didn't register online, there will be a last chance registration from 11-11:30am. Opening ceremonies will happen at 11:30am. After the opening ceremony, a bagpiper will lead the hikers to the Boulevard Lake Park trails, where you will have the opportunity to walk around the lake, stopping to drop a flower in the still waters as a special sign of remembrance.

Stop at the Adelaide Monarch Butterfly Garden and tie a colourful ribbon to the Butterfly Remembrance Walls. You can also pre-order the new heart memorial charm to add to the wall.

Driving Miss Daisy will be available to shuttle people to and from the Butterfly Garden, if needed.
