To increase its capacity to support the community, the organization has partnered with charities under the umbrella of “Groomanthropy”, an organization established in response to the pandemic to raise the required resources to help sustain charity organiza- tions with their respective programs and services. This year, the Walk for Aging Positively, is the culmination of a series of a larger event that are be- ing launched in collaboration with Diabetes Cana- da, Second Harvest and Michael Garron Hospital Foundation. These agencies have joined forces with SSN to raise resources, promote each other’s ser- vices to their members and pool all the funds to be shared equally amongst the partners. The Walk for Aging Positively will be from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on November 29 which will include special presentations from speakers, enter- tainment and share photos and videos of this year’s participants completing their walk. To promote a healthy and active lifestyle, all par- ticipants will have an opportunity to complete their “virtual walk” anytime between November 14th and November 28th. To celebrate the community, the organization has requested all who participate to share photos so that they could be posted on walk day. Individuals are being encouraged to walk with their partners, friends, family members and neighbours in their re- spective bubbles to ensure social distancing. “Keep- ing healthy while supporting others is a win – a win for all,” a statement released by the group said.
