Step Up For Ostomy 2026 – North Vancouver
October 3 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am
The Vancouver United Ostomy Association invites you to join us for Step Up For Ostomy — a national awareness and fundraising event supporting Canadians living with an ostomy. This local event is an opportunity to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and build community support for people living with an ostomy in the Vancouver area.
Join us at Waterfront Park, meeting at Goldsworthy Gazebo. The walk will run from 10:30-11:30AM, with door prizes for participants. Meet local members of the ostomy community, and help raise awareness and funds!
Can’t join us in person? The Vancouver United Ostomy Association is also hosting virtual awareness walks, allowing you to join from the comfort of your own home the North Vancouver Virtual Walk, running adjacent to our in-person walk from 10:30-11:30AM, and Step Up For Ostomy with Coach Jenn at 3PM. Attendees must register before October 1 to ensure they receive the link for their online walk.
