This social event is open to the Studio members, community, friends, family, and pooches (on leash). We hope you can join us!
When: Saturday, June 21, 2025, from 9:30 am to 3 pm
Where: Milne Dam Conservation Park, 8251 McCowan Rd, Markham, ON L3P 3J3
Dress code: Did you screen an Our Canada! t-shirt? Today's the day to show it off! For others, this event has a Canada Day vibe, so red and white is de rigueur, but wear what’s comfy, colourful, and best reflects you.
Why: Our Studio community has been hard hit by cancer. Some folks are in remission, others are going through treatment, and family and friends have also been touched by cancer. While early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for patients has significantly improved, we all know there is some way to go. Small steps lead to great strides—let’s go the distance!
10 am | Tribute walk for Terry Fox
Meet up at the designated parking lot (Greenacres B). Bring a hat, water bottle, and comfortable walking shoes, and hiking pole, if needed, for a morning of light exercise walking the trail, guided by Melanie Kidd. Pick up a token from a volunteer event marshal. Dogs on leash welcome.
12 pm | Picnic/BBQ
Stick around for our picnic/BBQ at Greenacres B for an afternoon of fun and community. This ticketed event includes BBQ staples and silly family-friendly activities. Hope to see you there!
