BC Transplant hosts the Walks of Life annually as an opportunity for the community to gather together to celebrate the power of organ donation and transplantation.
Walks of Life is an opportunity for everyone in the transplant community to honour and express gratitude to living donors, deceased donors and their families, while also acknowledging transplant recipients and their own “walks of life." We gather in beautiful surroundings to provide space for hope and healing, while highlighting the profound impact of organ donation and transplantation.
BC Transplant hosted the first Walks of Life in April 2019 at Creekside Community Centre near Science World. We brought it back in June 2026 at Deer Lake in Burnaby and plan to continue each year.
The event includes a short walk, a moment of silence, and a special ceremony to remember all the donors who make the gift of life possible. The Walks of Life is a free community event and everyone is welcome to attend. Please check back later for more information on the 2027 next event.
