Volunteering
The MS Walk is the rallying point of the MS movement, a community coming together to support the estimated 3,000 individuals who are living with multiple sclerosis in Manitoba. Everything from signage to volunteers needs to thank, encourage and excite Walkers.

At the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, we recognize that our volunteers are our greatest resource. They make a world of difference in every area of the organization. Whether helping out at a special event like the MS Bike Tour, speaking on behalf of the MS Society, assisting with recreational programs, putting their skills to work in the office, or becoming a board or committee member, every volunteer contribution is highly valued and appreciated.
