An annual fundraising event to support Comox Valley seniors is taking some big steps this weekend.

The Glacier View Lodge Society is welcoming walkers to support its 2025 Walk for Glacier View, individual walkers or teams will take a scenic 2 kilometre walk around the lodge while taking in a bake sale, live music and other entertainment.

Funds raised through the event will be used to support wellness programs for seniors, such as music therapy, while building momentum for future seniors’ housing initiatives.

The society says it’s already reached 85 per cent of its fundraising goal, and they are hoping this weekend’s event will help them step past the finish line.

“Together, we can make a real difference for the seniors who built our community, while planning ahead for affordable housing that ensures their future,” says Glacier View Lodge board chair James Taylor.

Check in goes at 12:30 at Glacier View Lodge in Courtenay Sunday, September 21, the walk gets moving at 1:00 pm.
