On September 20, 2026, Parkinson Montreal-Laval will stage its annual Parcours Parkinson 2026 walk in Ahuntsic Park, Montreal. The two‑hour event, scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., is designed to raise public awareness of Parkinson’s disease and to collect donations toward a $100,000 fundraising target.
The walk forms the centerpiece of the organization’s flagship programming. Parkinson Montreal-Laval, which was established in 2004, has built the Parcours Parkinson into a recurring community gathering that highlights the challenges faced by those living with the condition and the need for continued research and support services.
Participants will follow a designated route through Ahuntsic Park, a venue chosen for its accessibility and visibility within the city. Organizers hope the public setting will encourage passersby to learn about Parkinson’s disease, engage with informational displays, and consider contributing to the cause.
The $100,000 goal reflects the organization’s broader financial strategy for the year, aiming to fund education initiatives, patient assistance programs, and research collaborations. While the walk is open to the general public, the event also serves as an opportunity for volunteers, families of patients, and local businesses to demonstrate solidarity.
Past editions of the Parcours Parkinson have drawn sizable crowds and generated significant community support. This year’s walk continues that tradition, reinforcing the organization’s long‑term commitment to advocacy and fundraising since its inception nearly two decades ago.
Parkinson Montreal-Laval invites residents of Montreal and surrounding areas to attend the event, join the walk, and contribute to the $100,000 target that will sustain the organization’s mission throughout 2026 and beyond.
