The Walk for Arthritis is a one day community-based event that raises much needed funds for the more than 6 million Canadians affected by arthritis. The Walk for Arthritis was started in 2009 by small community groups who decided that people living with arthritis needed more support. They realized that if more funds could be raised, they might make a difference to their future.
This year we are excited to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of our annual Walk for Arthritis in over 30 communities across Canada. Since its inception, the Walk for Arthritis has raised over $11 million. Let’s make our 10th anniversary a record breaking year.
On a single day (either Saturday June 1 or Sunday June 2 depending on where you live), people can come out to share the experience of walking 1km or 5km, among family and friends in a festive environment. Hear meaningful stories from people who face this disease every day, and meet the researchers that are really making headway in finding solutions that our investment in research can deliver. Experience the joy of being with inspiring people who actually find walking to be a big challenge because of the pain and limitations of arthritis. But they can move – so can you!
Since then, every June, in more than 30 communities across Canada, thousands of people have started their Saturday or Sunday by choosing to walk with and among people confronted with the pain and limitations of arthritis. And they leave truly inspired.
Join us this year as we celebrate our 10th Walk for Arthritis on June 2nd at Assiniboine Park. The day promises to be joyful, spirited and a day to be remembered.
Route Options: 1Km & 5Km
Sign up to walk and pledge to raise funds to truly make a difference.
The Arthritis Society is proud to have the confidence of donors across the country that allows us to be the largest charitable funder of arthritis research. This means that the funds raised by the Walk for Arthritis make a world of difference to people affected by the disease. And since 1 in 5 people have the disease today, there is a good chance someone you know will benefit from the steps you take.
In under twenty years the prevalence of arthritis will grow by 50%. We have time to stop that trend, but only through investment in research.
This year we are celebrating our 10th Walk for Arthritis – help us make this the best year ever by joining the Walk for Arthritis community!

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique for relaxation, stress reduction and inner balance that can also promote healing on many levels including physical, mental and emotional. It works with Universal Life Force Energy to clear and balance the energy fields of your body bringing calm to body/mind and clarity to your thinking. Reiki increases a person’s own supply of life force energy and provides a deep relaxation to the mind/body which can also add to the healing process.
Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki is a new Reiki for today’s stressful times. This newer system of Reiki combines the original system of Usui Reiki with a newer, more refined Reiki that is of a higher, vibrational energy. It heals through purification, healing, empowerment and guidance. The complete system includes the four Reiki symbols from the Usui tradition as well as the Holy Fire master symbol. Enlightenment and powerful transformation can be two side effects of learning to channel this beautiful, gentle yet powerful energy!
The use of the word holy in the name Holy Fire II is not intended to have a religious meaning. The word holy has as its root meaning to be whole and complete and this is how it is used in Holy Fire III. Therefore, Holy Fire III is a spiritually-guided energy that creates wholeness through purification, healing, empowerment and guidance.
Some Reiki Benefits can include:
• More calm to the body and mind
• Increased clarity
• Improved decision-making
• Reduction of overwhelm and anxiety
• Reduction of stress and pain
• Opening to more love & compassion
• Shifting of old perceptions
• Dissolving of old habits/beliefs
• Increased intuition and trust in life!

Join Barb Timmer for her weekly practice, ‘Transform Your Energy, Transform Your Life’, every Tuesday from 10:30 – 11:30 am at Nourish Wellness in Comox.
Qi means energy and ‘gong’ means ‘to work with’ so Qigong basically means to work with your own energy. It is thought to be the ‘grandfather’ of practices such as Tai Chi, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Martial Arts as it goes back thousands of years. Today, Qigong is also considered a science of the body as much research has been done on how it helps to enhance our health and wellness. Many researchers agree that even more research is needed.
Spring Forest Qigong is a newer, modern form of qigong that is very easy to learn but still very effective and can easily fit into our busy daily lives. By using the mind, the breath and the movements, any blockages in our energy are transformed so that our energy ‘flows’ freely thereby helping with better health and vitality and increased focus, peace and calm.
Join other ‘Qi-Transformers’ for a regular morning ‘Stress Break’ as you practice the simple, gentle movements of this meditative practice. You will find that practicing in a group actually magnifies the energy of peace and calm.
Drop-in rate is $12/practice and may be paid at the door. 6-practice cards are available for a special rate of $50. Fore more info, go to www.Co-CreationalSelf-Healing.com.
