Time to move for a good cause

St. Vital

On Saturday, June 27 at 8 a.m., volunteers and participants of Move for H20 will gather at St. Vital park again this year.

Partner events led by groups across Canada raise funds each year for causes and projects around the world to provide fresh water access to those in need.

This year, funds raised will go towards Sitio Toruyan; a remote community in the Marilog District of Davao, Philippines. Thanks to charitable initiatives and local volunteer efforts, life-giving water systems have been successfully completed to support its residents.

Participants pledge to walk, roll, cycle, or run a route around the park as individuals, as part of a team, or with other event participants. The format is casual, welcoming, and family friendly.

There will be a muster point to the rear of the large parking lot area in the south section of the park, and a map is available available online.

I plan to participate as a runner and donor for the second time after first attending in 2024, and invite community members out to a fun social activity, support a great cause, and meet likeminded folks with an interest in conservation, sustainable development, and building bridges between communities.
