Mood Walks Brantford

03/03/2026

We’ve made the difficult decision to place our Winter Mood Walk sessions on hold until further notice.

This winter has certainly tested us, between illnesses making their rounds and the unpredictable weather, we’ve struggled to keep our volunteer hike leaders healthy and available. As much as we love hitting the trails with you, everyone’s wellbeing comes first.

We’re hopeful this will be a short break and plan to restart in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned.. we’ll let you know as soon as we’re back out there enjoying some fresh air and mood-boosting steps together. 💚

Unfortunately, we need to cancel this week’s Mood Walk program (February 25th). Our hike leaders are currently under the weather This season has certainly been relentless with illness and unpredictable weather.

We’re disappointed, as we know how much these walks mean to our community. Please know that as soon as everyone is feeling better, we’ll be back on the trails for some fresh air and mood-boosting time in nature. Thank you for your understanding.

Take care, stay well, and remember, your mood matters.

Please join us tomorrow, January 31st, for our Saturday drop-in program.
We have a very special activity planned called
Valentine’s for Vets. 🇨🇦

We’ll be creating Valentine’s cards filled with kind messages for veterans as a small but meaningful way to show our appreciation for all they do. No artistic experience required. Just bring your kindness and creativity. ❤️

Our drop-in is open from 12:00 to 2:30 p.m. at 20 Darling Street. If crafting isn’t your thing, you’re still very welcome to stop by for peer support, coffee, and some friendly chit-chat.

As always, trained peer support specialists will be available for one-on-one conversations if you’re struggling with your mental health. We hope to see you there.

We were hoping to kick off our winter session of Mood Walks today, but the cold weather has proven to be a bit too much for even our most dedicated hike leaders to brave. As a result, we will be CANCELING today’s walk.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the weather warms up by next Wednesday. If it doesn’t, we’ll still be meeting, just with a slightly cozier plan. Instead of walking, we’ll gather for a coffee, some good conversation, and to map out routes for the winter season together.

Please plan to join us next Wednesday at:
10:00 a.m.
20 Darling Street

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sandy at sandy@hopebrant.ca.

Stay warm out there today! We promise brighter (and warmer) days are ahead.
