Locally the royal Canadian legion will be hosting the event.

The gathering will start at 10 am this Saturday with speeches and information being shared.

The walk will follow opening ceremonies at 11am, and there will be a light meal provided.

Canada has one of the highest rates of MS with an estimated 90 thousand Canadians living with the disease.

On average 12 Canadians are diagnosed with the disease every day.
