Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life Ottawa is an annual fundraising walk organized by Bruce House. It supports the programs of seven local organizations that respond to HIV/AIDS in our community.

Every year, Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life Ottawa hosts a candlelight walk and a memorial stop at the Human Rights Monument to honour and remember those who have gone before us, stand in support of those living with HIV/AIDS and light the way in hope for an end to this disease. Over a thousand caring men, women and children come together annually to collect funds, raise awareness, show support, and continue the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Since the first walk in 1989, we have raised over $1 million dollars through the participation of more than 10,000 walkers, hundreds of corporate and community teams and many caring corporate supporters.

Tens of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast will be collecting pledges and Walking for Life!

Le plus important événement de sensibilisation et de collecte de fonds pour la lutte contre le VIH/sida au Canada est la Marche action sida Banque Scotia, qui a lieu à chaque année. Lors de cet événement national, des Marches ont lieu dans de nombreuses villes et communautés aux quatre coins du pays, afin d’amasser de l’argent pour des services et programmes locaux, et de rehausser la sensibilisation du public au VIH/sida.

Jusqu’à maintenant, plus d’un demi million de Canadiens et Canadiennes ont participé à la Marche action sida Banque Scotia, d’un océan à l’autre. Ensemble, ces personnes ont amassé près de 28 millions de dollars pour soutenir les programmes et services, dans leurs communautés, à l’intention des personnes vivant avec le VIH/sida et des autres personnes affectées.
