Strides of Hope Walk - Lethbridge

The Schizophrenia Society of Alberta invites you to participate in our Strides of Hope walk on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 in recognition of World Schizophrenia Day. Due to COVID-19, our Strides of Hope walk is a virtual event.

Participating is easy! Go for a walk around the block, park or shopping mall at a time that is convenient for you. Wear purple or white, take a photo and share on social media using the hashtags #WorldSchizophreniaDay and #SSAStridesofHope.
