WALK TO REMEMBER 2026

Walk to Remember — an annual fundraising event to honour loved ones and ensure no one grieves alone.​

 

Thank you for taking part in our 2026 walk at Lakeside Park in Mississauga

We hope you can join us next year for Walk To Remember 2027

About the Event

​Walk to Remember is an annual fundraising event that has brought our community together for 29 years. It’s a meaningful day where we walk, run, or roll in memory of our loved ones, share stories, and raise vital funds to support our small charity. Every donation helps us continue providing compassionate grief and loss support to those who need it.

Thanks to Angle Media Group for their generous Digital Production Sponsorship 

The Power of Your Generosity

Grief is a journey no one should have to experience alone. Our annual event provides a chance to make a meaningful difference for those navigating one of life’s most challenging experiences. Your generosity ensures we can continue offering essential support to grieving children, teens, and adults. Here’s how your support makes an impact, on average:​

1,000+

Average group visits a year across 220+ grief support groups, where individuals found solace and connection.​

700+

Average one-to-one grief support sessions annually, providing a space for healing and reflection.

$40,000

Our 2026 fundraising goal to sustain these essential programs and services​ for 2027.

The more we raise, the more people we can support — helping these numbers grow and ensuring that more people receive the support they need. Every $20+ donation is eligible for a charitable tax receipt, making it easy to give while making a difference. Learn more about the impact your gift has on someone grieving in your community by clicking here.

Thank you for your unending support through my grief journey and for helping me rebuild my self esteem and confidence. This organization is one of the things I am grateful for and you have become part of my success story.

I fundraise because I know the support they (CFGH) provide is life-changing for grieving youth.

Walk to Remember 2026

Thank you for joining us at Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Lakeside Park in Mississauga for a meaningful day of remembrance, connection, and community, held in partnership with Bereaved Families of Ontario – Toronto.

We are so grateful to everyone who came together for this year’s Walk to Remember. Whether you walked, ran, rolled, gathered, face painted, danced, volunteered, fundraised, donated, or supported the Walk in another way, thank you! 



This year, 179 people joined us, and more than 40 volunteers helped bring the walk together. Our community raised more than $11,000! Funds raised will directly help make grief support accessible: $35 can help provide a one-to-one peer support session, $468 can help train a new peer support volunteer, and $2,115 can help provide a six-week closed grief support group.

​

Thank you for walking alongside us, remembering with us, and helping create a space where people can feel supported and connected. We are so grateful to have you as part of our community.

We hope you can join us in September of 2027 for our 30th Walk to Remember

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge the land on which we gather, and where the Centre for Grief and Healing (BFO-H/P) operates. This land has been and is still inhabited by many Indigenous Peoples since the last Ice Age which was 13,000 years ago. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek-Ojibway/Chippewa, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land that is home to the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people. We are grateful to now be on the land that is the land of Indigenous Peoples since time began.

​

The land we are presently on is under the stewardship of the Mississaugas of the Credit, who are the signatories of the treaty and holders of the area. We recognize that the land we are on was taken away through colonization, oppression, and expropriation. In the hopes for a better future and building relationships, we recognize, require, and honour what is in the truth and reconciliation report and the calls to action. We acknowledge and are grateful for having the privilege of being where we are, for this land, and for the Indigenous Peoples who have and continue to inhabit this land.

 

This Land Acknowledgment was created in collaboration with Indigenous Elder, Cat Criger.
