Walk YOUR Way for Autism - Stepping in the Right Direction for Autism

Due to COVID-19 and social distancing restrictions, Autism Nova Scotia has made the decision to make this year's Walk for Autism a virtual event. 

We are so excited that we still get to come together virtually as a community to raise funds for, and celebrate Autism Nova Scotia. 

This year you get to choose how you will participate - you can walk, run, bike, have a stroller parade with the kids, or bring your dog! It's up to YOU. 

Join our community in supporting individuals and families affected by autism across Nova Scotia. Walk YOUR Way is more than a fundraising event—it's an opportunity to make a meaningful difference while participating in an activity that fits your lifestyle. Whether you choose to walk, run, cycle, hike, or enjoy a family stroll, every step helps strengthen autism programs and services throughout the province.

Everyone is welcome to take part. Create a team with friends, family members, coworkers, or participate individually while raising awareness and funds for Autism Nova Scotia. Together, we can build a more inclusive community where autistic individuals have access to valuable resources, support, and opportunities.

Your participation directly supports local initiatives, educational programs, advocacy efforts, and community events that benefit autistic individuals of all ages. Every donation and every participant contributes to creating lasting positive change for families across Nova Scotia.

Choose Your Way to Participate

There is no single way to join the event. Walk through your neighborhood, explore your favorite trail, organize a community gathering, or participate virtually from anywhere. Invite others to sponsor your journey and celebrate every milestone together.

Support a Great Cause

Thanks to the generosity of our participants, volunteers, sponsors, and donors, Walk YOUR Way continues to grow each year. Your support helps Autism Nova Scotia expand programs that promote acceptance, inclusion, education, and lifelong support for autistic individuals and their families.

Walk YOUR Way for Autism Nova Scotia on September 26, 2026.
