HRM

Join us on Saturday, June 7th at Mic Mac Mall!

Walk YOUR Way is the largest annual fundraiser dedicated to supporting programs and services for the local autistic community. This inclusive event encourages participants to walk in their own way, fostering a sense of community and demonstrating support for a more inclusive future.

On June 7th, the HRM community will come together to raise funds for Autism Nova Scotia, ensuring that crucial programs and services continue to make a positive impact in the lives of autistic individuals in our region. All money raised directly keeps programs and services running here in HRM!
