Join us for the "5k/10k Run/Walk for Justice, Honoring Flight PS752 Victims."

On October 10, 2026, let us gather — in Toronto and Vancouver and virtually around the world — to stand for justice and truth, transforming our collective grief into a powerful force for change. With every step, we honor the 176 lives lost — passengers, crew, and an unborn child — and support the ongoing pursuit of accountability and transparency.

This year, we’re proud to partner with PAND Settlement Services to offer charitable tax receipts for all donations in Canada. All proceeds from this event will support the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims and fund initiatives that have led to major breakthroughs — including organizing key events and engaging with governments.

Snuggle up for a cause!

The Amazing Adventure is a fun-filled Road Rally / Scavenger Hunt where families, friends, businesses, and community groups team up to explore York Region in search of checkpoints, clues, and cozy surprises, all while raising funds for CHATS programs supporting seniors and caregivers.

This year’s theme is PJs & Teddy Bears, so come dressed in your comfiest pajamas and bring your favourite teddy along for the ride!

Teams will receive an Event Kit at check-in with everything you need: instructions, wristbands, lunch tickets, and your adventure passport. You’ll complete checkpoint challenges, from photo hunts and tasting tests to puzzles and fun community stops to earn your next clue and move ahead.
