About ONE CARE Home & Community Support
One Care Home & Community Support Services helps seniors and individuals with health challenges receive the care they need to stay safely in their homes. We support people living in Huron and Perth Counties with services like home care, transportation, meals on wheels, adult day programs, exercise and wellness.
ONE CARE is set to hold its annual fundraising walk – The Grand Parade – with a new twist in 2020. Because of COVID-19 we won’t be joining together for our usual walk. This year, The ONE CARE Grand Parade allows participants to register a team and fundraise as always, but with the freedom to walk the distance they want, when they want, and where they want. Videos or pictures of teams will be submitted in early September, and a montage of photos will be put together into a video, like a VIRTUAL PARADE. The virtual parade will be aired on the ONE CARE Facebook page on Sept 19th for everyone to enjoy from home!

Route Details
The TGP Team Walk allows you to register a team and fundraise as always, but with the freedom on Event Day to:
- Walk the distance you want
- When you want
- Where you want
Most teams will decide to walk in the morning, choosing between 1 km or 5 km distances, likely on a paved park pathway or equivalent. Many will end with a small Covid-friendly celebration afterward (lunch, tea, barbeque, etc.).
What to Bring
A few common sense suggestions:
- A cell phone for emergencies (recommended but not required)
- A face mask
- Your walking shoes
- Snacks in case you get hungry
- Your own water bottle, filled with icy cold water
- Warm layers with moisture-repelling clothing in case it's cold or windy. Mid-September be be cold with rain and wind. The weather might also be gorgeous and sunny. Be sure to keep your eye on the forecast!
