Slip on your kicks….and get ready to run or walk- for Palestine!
On Sunday, September 20, 2026 hundreds of people will once again gather at Assiniboine Park to walk or run for Palestine and raise funds for Islamic Relief Canada Emergency Food and Health Services in Gaza. Other humanitarian projects supported through the walk this year include Beit Lahia Development Association, Gaza Culture and Development Group, Unlimited Friends Association for Social Development and Bayader for Environment and Development.

We will also have Palestine pins, stickers and other items for sale by donation. Be sure to visit us!
