This year, the 10th annual Turkey Trot will happen Thanksgiving Monday (October 11th).  With a lot of uncertainty surrounding large scale events in Ontario this Fall due to Covid-19, we’ve made the tough decision to have the Turkey Trot be a Virtual Event.  We will re-evaluate public health precautions on September 24th and if feasible, we will switch the event to in-person and those registered for the VIRTUAL event will be given the chance to be first in line to participate in-person.

The Turkey Trot has always been about creating a family friendly local event that supports the 
YMCA Strong Communities Campaign
- supporting children, teens, adults and seniors in our community who are in need of assistance by eliminating financial barriers. 

With a virtual event we hope to continue to offer a fun experience that provides much needed funds to the YMCA to allow them to continue their great work helping individuals and families.

Not only do you get to have fun and help the community, you have the chance to win an amazing prize by random drawings.


You can put some turkey fun into your run/walk and try for the Golden Drumstick trophy and prize.

Community support needed now!

HCCF has announced a back-to-school initiative to provide 200 backpacks with school supplies and to support other basic needs like clothing, shoes, and outerwear for students in Halton’s Catholic Community starting in September and throughout the school year.

“Poverty is a barrier to learning success for a variety of reasons, but HCCF believes every child deserves the opportunity to succeed,” says Marc Clare, Executive Director of HCCF. “Back to school can be particularly challenging for struggling students and their families. There is a need for cool weather clothing, shoes, and outerwear that fits growing children, as well as school supplies for the classroom and at home that supports learning and immersive educational experiences.”

The HCCF Back To School Campaign will last for approximately 5 weeks, from mid-August to mid-September, and is aiming to raise $10,000 from Halton’s Catholic Community. In addition, this $10,000 would be matched by an anonymous donor – making this a significant $20,000 fundraising campaign for HCCF. The $10,000 fundraising match will include monthly donations pledged for the year as well.

HELPING HANDS WALK-A-THON

NeighbourLink Sarnia-Lambton is very pleased to invite you to join us in helping our less fortunate neighbours by participating in our Annual Helping Hands Walk-a-thon. (NHHW) on Saturday October 23, 2021 registration starts at 3pm and BBQ meal starts 4pm or earlier. Together we can make a difference.

The Sarnia WALK begins and ends at The Sarnia Christian School, at 1273 Exmouth St, corner of Pontiac Drive and Exmouth Street. Once here, the walkers will register, turn in their fundraising results, enjoy their chosen distance walk and return for a celebration BBQ. Donning iconic ball caps and T shirts, on the 3rd Saturday in October participants will walk a 2km, 5km or 10km route, warming up or cooling down with refreshing drinks and a quick snack at the rest stop along London Road. There will be route marshalls stationed along the way and a couple of route vans to assist walkers and ensure a safe and fun event is experienced by all.

It is a covid-safe, family-friendly walk to raise money for Neighbourlink to fund the services provided to those in need within our community free of charge.

Together we can make a difference.
