Walk in memory. Walk in support. Walk for compassionate hospice care in Kawartha Lakes.

Community Care Foundation and Community Care Hospice Services are so excited to announce that Hike for Hospice is back for the 22nd time on June 7th, 2026!

For 22 years, our Hike for Hospice has brought together families, friends, neighbours, and supporters to celebrate life, honour loved ones, and make a meaningful difference in our community. This inspiring annual event is more than just a walk. It is a chance to come together in support of compassionate hospice and palliative care, while enjoying a day filled with connection, remembrance, and hope. Whether you walk in memory of someone special, in support of a loved one, or simply to give back, every step helps make care possible. Funds raised through Hike for Hospice directly support programs and services that provide comfort, dignity, and compassion to individuals and families facing end-of-life journeys.
