Hello folks,

I am sure most of you got an e-mail last week from the fundraising coordinator Lynn Noel last week about some of the details for the walk for wishes on October 18. I am reposting some of the important information here as well.
  • Free Shuttle Bus will take participants from the Ottawa side over to Gatineau. Depature will be at 10am (sharp) frm Ottawa City Hall (Laurier Street). Arrive no later than 9:45am
  • On-site Registration - all participants MUST sign-in at Gatineau City Hall. Sign-in will open at 9am and will close at 10:45am. This is where you will bring in your off-line donations (cash/cheque) and pledge sheets (which can be downloaded here). Also, if you received donations through the online system by credit card, please print out your page as well.
