Today is Day 11 of the Journey to Connection Walk from Lorneville to Amherst. (31 Kms). Cameron takes his final steps of the 11-day journey around Cumberland County, but the momentum doesn’t stop here!

This Friday, October 3rd, join us for the Last KM Walk as we celebrate Cameron’s achievement and come together to support the Mental Health and Addictions team’s goal: a new accessible van.

This van isn’t just transportation, it’s a bridge to care, community, and recovery for hundreds of people every year.

Friday, Oct. 3rd @ 3 PM
Details coming soon
Walk the final kilometer with us and help Light the Way!

Today is Day 10, Monday, September 29th, of the Journey to Connection Walk with Cameron Lindsay.

Cameron is nearly there! Over the past 10 days, he’s covered hundreds of kilometres to help “Light the Way” for mental health in Cumberland County.
Every step has been a reminder of how important it is to keep services moving — just like the van that helps clients get to appointments, community programs, and activities that reduce isolation.

We’re so close to the finish line and to securing funding for a new van that will keep this vital work rolling for years to come. Today we will be walking from Pugwash to Lornville (31 kms) along the Route 366. Give us a honk if you see us!!

Today, Sunday, September 28th is Day 9 of the Journey to Connection Walk with Cameron Lindsay. Today we will walk from Middleboro, just before Wallace, to the hospital in Pugwash. That will cover 31 kms for the day. The money raised from this walk will go to buying a new van for the Mental Health and Addictions team.

Behind Every Mile:
The van they have now has traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers, but its real power comes from the people who drive it. Volunteer drivers help clients get to medical care, pick up groceries, or join community programs — everyday things that add up to healthier lives.

By stepping up as a driver, you’re not just covering distance — you’re helping someone move forward. for More information contact:

Today is Day 7 of the Journey to Connection Walk with Cameron Lindsay. (September 25, 2025)

A Ride That Matters
For many clients in Cumberland, a simple ride can mean the difference between making an appointment or missing it altogether.
Volunteer drivers for the Mental Health & Addictions van don’t just give someone a lift — they open doors to care, connection, and independence.
If you’ve got a vehicle and a little time to give, you could be the reason someone gets the support they need.
