Trillium Health Partners’ Community Walk Supporting Canada’s Largest Hospital Expansion Returns June 7

Mississauga, ON – February 25, 2026 – Registration is now open for The Hazel McCallion Walk for Health, returning Sunday, June 7, 2026, at Port Credit Memorial Park. Now in its fifth year, the annual community walk brings together families, health care workers, and local partners to raise critical funds to help build the future of health care at Trillium Health Partners, one of Canada’s largest hospital systems.

Proceeds from this year’s walk will support three landmark initiatives shaping the future of care: The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, which will be Canada’s largest hospital, the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, which is Ontario’s first hospital dedicated to women’s and children’s health, and the redevelopment of The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre, expanding rehabilitation and complex continuing care for the region.

“This fifth anniversary is a powerful milestone for The Hazel McCallion Walk for Health,” says Caroline Riseboro, President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners Foundation. “Hazel McCallion was proud to support Trillium Health Partners through this walk, and we continue this annual tradition to honour her enduring legacy. Every step taken on June 7 represents hope for patients, families, and our entire community. By coming together, participants are helping build a new kind of health care for all that will serve generations to come.”

Since its launch, The Hazel McCallion Walk for Health has raised more than $1.8 million in support of patient care and hospital redevelopment. In 2025 alone, the event brought together more than 2,100 participants, including community members, sponsors, volunteers, and health care workers, raising over $440,000.

Trillium Health Partners is one of Canada’s largest hospital systems, serving 2.2 million people across its three sites Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga Hospital, and Queensway Health Centre. Currently serving the largest population in Ontario, the demand for care is projected to grow more at Trillium Health Partners than any other hospital in Ontario over the next 15 years. 

When complete, The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital will replace the current Mississauga Hospital with more than 950 beds in all-private rooms, more operating rooms, shorter wait times, advanced diagnostic imaging facilities, a new pharmacy and clinical laboratory, and Canada’s largest Emergency Department, while the future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will offer Mississauga’s first purpose-built mental health inpatient beds for children and youth, comprehensive reproductive and paediatric services, and one of Ontario’s largest neonatal intensive care units, and The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre will expand access to leading-edge rehabilitation and complex continuing care through bright therapy spaces, dedicated group and outdoor therapy areas, advanced digital technology, modern facilities, and 100% private rooms.

Participants in the Hazel McCallion Walk for Health can choose between a 2 km or 5 km route along Mississauga’s scenic waterfront trail. Following the walk, participants are invited to enjoy the Family Fun Festival, included with registration, featuring activities for all ages, live entertainment, and a wide variety of food.

This event is made possible through the generous support of community partners, including RBC (Presenting Sponsor), CIBC, Longo’s, Pizza Pizza, The Printing House, Northpine Foundation, Rabba Fine Foods, Square One, Tim Hortons, AC Mechanical, Aatel Communications, and Furcon.
