Your impact
July is here, and summer has officially begun! This month, we're looking at the impact of people in our community. Big or small, every contribution matters. As we welcome the warm weather, let's recognize and thank everyone in the community who is helping to improve the lives of people with Parkinson's and care partners across Canada.
Community updates
Parkinson's IQ + You
Montreal's first Parkinson's IQ + You event officially wrapped up, and it was a big success. We learned about the latest research and gained valuable insights for managing Parkinson's.
If you made it out, thanks for coming. Couldn't make it? The next event will be in the Greater Toronto Area on October 18.
Summer activities for living well with Parkinson's
With summer in full swing, there's lots to do. Check out this blog for ideas on how to stay busy, connected, and living well during the summer months.
Volunteers wanted!
It's almost SuperWalk season, and we need your help! SuperWalk takes place across the country and wouldn't be possible without our amazing volunteers. It's a great way to give back, meet new people, and have fun.

Want to see the impact we made together last year? Parkinson Canada's 2024 Impact Report is now live! It breaks down the programs and support your generous donations made possible--research, support, and advocacy from coast to coast. We couldn't have done it without you.
