Canada has the highest rate of multiple sclerosis in the world - MS is Canada's disease. On Sunday May 27th, join us at the Central Park Bandshell (behind the Music Centre) to learn more about MS while fundraising to support research and local programs and services that are offered to those living with MS and their families. Join us for delicious food from local food trucks 50 Pesos, Salted Pig & Olympic Softee Ice Cream Truck, & test yourself in the Mission Possible portable escape room! Special guests & vendors include Burlington Mayor Rick Goldring, Burlington Councillor Marianne Meed Ward, Melissa from iDream Travel, Burlington Able Sail, & Lindsay from doTERRA. At 1:00pm, Marianne Meed Ward will address the audience, followed by Mayor Rick Goldring. At 2:00pm, Melissa from iDream Travel will address guests to discuss accessible travel. Melissa's husband lives with MS and is familiar with the special requests and needs that those living with MS would prefer while travelling, including ensuring you have the appropriate travel insurance. MC services are being donated by Hub of the Hammer Event Planning. There will also be music from Fresh 95.3's Street Team, children’s activities with 9Round Kickboxing Burlington & MS volunteers (arts & crafts), Burlington's antique fire truck, contests for kids & adults, & more! Thank you to the businesses that have donated prizes for contests: Boston Pizza (Dundas St., Burlington), Burlington Bowl, Cine Starz (Brant St., Burlington) & Lazer Mania (Hamilton). We look forward to seeing you there!
