Dreamers Walk Canada – July Update

As summer continues, the entire Dreamers Walk Canada team is excited about everything that's happening this year. The energy is building, and we can't wait to welcome our community to one of our biggest events yet—DreamFest 2026!


We are incredibly grateful for the amazing sponsors and community partners who are helping make this event possible. A heartfelt thank you to BuildAble, Good Access Company, Councillor David Hill, Councillor Paul Rushforth, Velocity Games, Lowertown Brewery, and the many other organizations and supporters who believe in our mission. Your partnership is helping us create a more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community for everyone.

This year's event has something for everyone, including:


  • 1K Memorial Walk

  • 2K Pet Walk

  • 3K Accessibility Walk

  • Dreamers Walk Canada Business Challenge

  • Community Marketplace

  • Kids Zone

  • Live entertainment

Whether you're participating, volunteering, sponsoring, or simply joining us for the day, we can't wait to celebrate with you.


Building Our Future

While we're busy preparing for DreamFest, we're also using the summer months to build exciting new community initiatives that will launch this fall.


We're preparing to introduce our new D.R.E.A.M. Street Outreach and Community Support Team, which will provide practical support, outreach, advocacy, and connections to community resources for people living with disabilities and those facing barriers in our communities.


We're also developing our new P.O.W.E.R. Community Programming—People Overcoming with Wellness, Empowerment, and Resilience—which will feature:


  • Hangout Sessions

  • Life Skills Workshops

  • Support Groups

  • Community Connections


These programs reflect our commitment to supporting people all year long—not just through events, but through meaningful community services.


Leadership Updates

This fall will also bring several exciting leadership changes within Dreamers Walk Canada. As our organization continues to grow, we'll be welcoming new leaders into key volunteer and operational roles, strengthening our ability to serve the community and expand our impact across Ottawa and beyond.


Thank You

None of this would be possible without our volunteers, donors, sponsors, board members, community partners, and supporters. Thank you for believing in our vision of creating a more accessible, inclusive, and empowered community.

The best is still to come, and we're excited to share the journey with you.


Together, we are turning dreams into reality—one step, one connection, and one community at a time.
