​An island wide event for adults and children with Down syndrome, their families, and support professionals.

Join us on Saturday, June 14th, 2025 between 10:30am and 2:00 pm for an awareness walk and picnic at Airforce Beach, Comox.

For the awareness walk, we are raising funds for the Canadian Down Syndrome Society. You can help raise funds by registering with our team (Vancouver Island Down Syndrome Society) or donate directly to the team here: 

If you do not wish to become a team member you may also simply donate.

Please let us know if you can make it to the walk and picnic by RSVPing to info@vidownsyndrome.ca so that we can ensure we have enough snacks.

We will also be offering our Awareness Walk T-shirts again this year with a couple of options for style and colours:

Crewneck in either White or Carolina Blue for $18.00 each or V-Neck in the same colours for $25.00 (Please note that men's v-necks are only available in white). Registration with T-Shirt is due May 25th. Below is a picture of what will be printed on the front in black.
