Head and shhoulders photo of Sam Laprade wearing mauve blazerThis year, we proudly celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Walk for Dementia, hosted by the amazing Sam Laprade. 

Join Ottawa families, caregivers, and supporters as we come together to raise awareness, fund vital local programs, and walk toward a dementia-friendly future.

This free, all-ages event is a community fundraising tradition where friends, family and community come together for a 1 km walk. It also features live music, local vendors, a bouncy castle, lawn games, an immersive tribute wall, and more family-friendly activities for all ages.

We’re celebrating three decades of walking for this community, for compassion, and to ensure no one faces dementia alone.
