Empower Yourself Through . . . Events



At the Friendship Circle offices, we’re all extremely hyped for what’s going to be our first annual Walk4Friendship. We’ve seen the powerful effect it’s had on our sister-Friendship Circle cities and we’re so excited for Montreal – cause ‘When we walk together, we all move forward!’

It’s not a secret, there are lots of Walks, all supporting important organizations so what’s different about Walk4Friendship?

Well, for one, we’re saluting our awesome teen volunteers, who are the heart and soul of Friendship Circle. And isn’t it about time we all came together – me, you, kids with special needs, their parents, friends, staff, supporters . . why even your hairdresser should be there!

We’re expecting lots of people this Sunday, October 25th as we take over Trudeau Park and proudly walk through the streets (well, actually sidewalks) of Cote Saint Luc. And we’re expecting a beautiful sunny day, but prepare your scarves and gloves, just in case!

Registration opens at 11:00 am with the opening ceremony at 12:45 pm honouring our volunteers. The 3KM walk follows, starting and ending at Pierre Elliot Trudeau Park in Cote Saint Luc. A variety of family activities, entertainment and refreshments will be ongoing from 2:00 – 4:00 pm. And you don’t want to miss The Pogo Dudes at 2:00 pm!

Hope to see you there!
