"From Trauma to Triumph – Step by Step”, scheduled for May 24, 2026. This 5km walk-a-thon event is a collaborative initiative between CARI-ON SVG and Black Mental Health Canada (BMHC), at Ashbridges Bay - Martin Goodman Trail, Toronto.

Our primary goal is to raise awareness about mental health issues and reduce the stigma associated with them. We aim to promote physical activity as a means to improve mental well-being and foster a sense of community and belonging. By encouraging community members to participate in the walk-a-thon, we aim to build stronger connections and a deeper sense of belonging in our communities.
