Flora's Walk 2026 Sponsorship (Sunday, May 31, 2026)

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Your Sponsorship Saves Lives!

What is Flora’s Walk?

Flora’s Walk is Canada’s largest perinatal mental health fundraiser taking place in over 50 cities across Canada. The event culminates in May, World Maternal Mental Health Month, where, after months of fundraising and planning, walks and events are held in cities across Canada throughout the month of May to call attention to the need for improved perinatal mental health care.

Who was Flora?

Flora’s Walk is named about Canadian mother, Flora, who tragically lost her life in 2022 to undetected and undiagnosed and untreated postpartum psychosis. We honour Flora and all those who have lost their lives to perinatal mental illness and fight for those struggling to receive care.

Read about Flora’s Story HERE

See our Flora’s Walk 2024 Photo Gallery HERE

The Impact of Flora’s Walk

Since 2022, over 100 organizations who have received funds through Flora’s Walk have provided free to low cost support groups and therapy across Canada.

In 2023, at Flora’s Walk in Ottawa on Parliament Hill, the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions announced funding to start work on Canada’s first ever clinical national guidelines for perinatal mental health.

Sensory Saturday

Start your weekend with fun, connection, and hands-on play at Sensory

Saturday!

This family-friendly program is designed for children and their caregivers to explore interactive sensory activities together in a welcoming, relaxed environment.

Parents can enjoy quality time playing alongside their child, meeting other families, and letting little ones explore freely, without worrying about the mess at home. We’ll handle the cleanup so you can head off and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Activities may include sensory bins, creative play stations, movement activities, and more, all designed to encourage exploration, social interaction, and fun.

Important Information:

● Parent/caregiver supervision is required at all times. While we will do our best to ensure activities do not contain small pieces, caregivers are responsible for closely monitoring their child during play.

● Feel free to bring your own coffee or tea, or purchase a beverage from the Kiwanis counter located near the building entrance.

Come play, connect, and kick off your Saturday with sensory fun!

I look forward to seeing your there,
