• 12-1 p.m. – Guest speakers and information booths
• 1:15 p.m. – Walk starts
• 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. – Refreshments and information booths

Join members of the Quinte West Community Task Force and community partners to learn about the work being done in Quinte West to support housing and homelessness challenges faced by community members.

The event includes short talks offered by community partners that are working hard to develop and implement community efforts aimed at reducing housing and homelessness challenges in our community, and a walk around downtown Trenton to learn about the challenges faced by members of the unhoused and precariously housed community in Quinte West.

The walk will start and finish at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Arena where local organizations will also be onsite with information booths on display.

Donations of food and warm weather clothing, deodorant, hygiene products, shoes, tents, sleeping bags, non-perishable food including gum, energy bars and ensure items are appreciated and will be distributed to the participating front-line social service organizations providing support to unhoused and precariously housed community members in Quinte West.

This event is an initiative supported by the City of Quinte West’s Community Safety & Well-Being Plan.
