In Person Events

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.
