Strides of Hope Walk - Camrose

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.

If you would like to make a donation please click on the 'Donate Now' button on this page. You can also create your own fundraising page and share it with your friends/family to collect pledges for the SSA online!

Whether you walk around the block, park or local shopping mall, when, where, and how long you choose to walk is up to you! Simply wear purple or white, take a photo and share on social media using the hashtags #WorldSchizophreniaDay and #SSAStridesofHope.
