Course for Compassion
Course pour la Compassion takes place on September 19, 2026 at Valois Park in Pointe Claire. This is the 10th edition of a walk/run event raising funds for the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence. The 2026 net fundraising goal is $425,000 to support free, compassionate palliative care in the community.
Participants may choose between two distances:
- 1 km
- 5 km
The event is presented as a fun run, allowing walking or running, and dogs are welcome. Participants can raise funds through personal fundraising pages or form teams to support the residence. A memorial sign option is available for $200, and these signs are displayed along a Memory Lane on the route.
After completing the walk or run, a Party Zone in Valois Park features local merchants and sponsors offering complimentary items and family-oriented activities. Offerings include face painting, frozen treats, coffee, and other amenities for attendees of all ages.
Proceeds support the continued provision of end of life care by the residence without charge to patients and their families. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
