Strides of Hope Walk - Red Deer

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.
