CANADA ARMY RUN
NOVEMBER 6, 2022
Canada Army Run will need volunteers to help make this year’s event the best one yet! We can’t do it without you! You will be able to choose the area you’d like to volunteer in and you can volunteer with family and friends. This is also an ideal opportunity for high school students 14 years and older to fulfill their Community Involvement Activities required for Ontario Secondary School Diplomas.
*The new event date is Sunday, 6 Nov, 2022. This date has been made available as the only option to provide you the Canada Army Run event and experience you expect. We thank the City of Ottawa, as well as all of our dedicated event partners, in assisting with this quick change to better serve you, the members of our community. Read more here.
