2026 Hike for Valley Hospice & Palliative Care
Join us for the
2026 Hike for Hospice & Palliative Care!
On Sunday, May 3, 2026, we will gather once again for the Hike for Hospice, a family-friendly walk that raises essential funds for hospice and palliative care programs supporting individuals and families across the Annapolis Valley. This year, the event is presented by Valley Credit Union!
And we’re hosting at a new location this year! Spread the word!
The Hike for Hospice will be taking place at the Coldbrook & District Lions Club – 1416 S Bishop Rd, Coldbrook, NS
This year marks the 14th year of our community coming together to raise funds and to celebrate the compassionate care that Valley Hospice, Annapolis Valley Palliative Care and other care teams provide to those experiencing life-limiting illness, end-of-life, and bereavement.

Who Will You Hike For?
Many hikers walk in memory of someone special, or to honour a personal connection to hospice and palliative care in the Annapolis Valley. Being together in community is at the heart of the Hike for Valley Hospice & Palliative Care.
Not hiking? Join us anyway – arrive around 1:00 p.m. for music and social time, and cheer on our hikers at 2:00 p.m. as they head out.
