Join us on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at St. Paul’s Bloor Street, 227 Bloor St. E., in midtown Toronto for a fun, family-friendly 2 or 5 km fundraising winter walk.
By participating, you’ll generate support for vulnerable youth, families in need and adults experiencing long-term poverty, all of whom are served by YSM.
The goal for this important annual event is to raise $145,000, to ensure support for as many community members as possible – at a time when need for YSM’s over 100 programs and services is at an all-time high.
You can preview the event day schedule, walking route, and our 2026 Winter Walk toque here.
