Let's Keep the Momentum Going!

We know you are all great at walking for a cause but lets keep wheeling and walking for our own health. If you are looking to start incorporating walking into your routine but are not thrilled with the scenery of your neighborhood, you can venture out to one of Ontario’s scenic wheelchair accessible walking trails!

A few of the beautiful inclusive walking trails are:

Bowmanville Harbour Conservation :It is located on Lake Ontario in the Municipality of Clarington. There is a boat launch, parking and nearby access to waterfront. There are numerous parks and trails that weave through the Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area and nearby Port Darlington Marina,

Whitby Waterfront Trail: The Waterfront Trail follows the shore of Lake Ontario from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Quinte West. Whitby's Waterfront Trail is off-road and paved. There are a number of beautiful natural areas to enjoy, for example Lynde Shore Conservation Area, the last remnant of old-growth white pines on the north shore of Lake Ontario.

Uptown Toronto :This Uptown Discovery Walk leads you through neighbourhoods just north of the City’s core. Hidden among the low-rise and high-rise residential, commercial and institutional buildings, you will discover a rich variety of parks, gardens and streetscapes.

Join Your Local MS Walk Organizing Committee

The MS Walk is the MS Society’s largest fundraising event. Taking place in 59 communities around the province, it raises over $6.2 million annually! Joining an organizing committee is a great way for you to become more involved in your community while truly making a difference.

Each local MS Walk Committee is primarily responsible for the successful planning and execution of a fun, non-competitive, community based fundraising event from start to finish. This volunteer organizing committee works together to help recruit new participants and local sponsors leading up to the Walk, train and lead event weekend volunteers and plan and execute a successful walk.

Being a member of the MS Walk committee provides you with an opportunity to build relationships and get involved in your community, gain leadership experience and develop your existing skills, learn more about how the MS Society and the MS Walk operates and is executed, and allows you to be an integral part of the mission of the MS Society – to be a leader in finding a cause and cure for MS and enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life.

We are looking for volunteers with a wide variety of skills and experience. Positions on the committee include: sourcing sponsors, recruiting and stewarding walkers and teams, planning the route and more!
