The Walk of Ages

Count with me. One. Two. Three. We are all three seconds older. Aging is something we all share, and it connects us all, no matter our age, cultural, ethnic, political, or religious background, or gender and sexual orientation identity.

The Walk of Ages is an intergenerational walk fundraiser in Ottawa that brings people together to celebrate and support older adults while recognizing that aging is a shared journey across every stage of life.

Through the Walk of Ages, we take another step toward our vision of a community where older adults are respected, informed, and engaged, living in an age-friendly city.

Our goal is to shift thinking so that aging is not seen as something that only applies to older adults, but as a universal experience that connects us all. By doing so, we aim to break down barriers, foster understanding, and encourage everyone to take up the cause of aging together. In doing so, we strengthen intergenerational connection and build a more inclusive community.

At its heart, the Walk of Ages is about celebrating aging at every stage of life while strengthening the community we all share.
