Tulipathon Continues

Despite the cold, rainy, and overcast weather, this year’s Tulipathon brought together a dedicated community of supporters determined to walk in support of affordable housing. Around 100 participants gathered among the tulips at Commissioners Park, reconnecting with familiar faces and welcoming new ones into the MHI community.

Thanks to the slower and more prolonged spring season this year, the tulips were still in beautiful bloom, creating a colourful backdrop for an afternoon centred on connection, community, and purpose. Throughout the event, conversations flowed easily as many participants reunited with people they have come to know through Tulipathon over the years. For many, the event has become more than just a fundraiser. It is an annual tradition and an opportunity to reconnect with others who care deeply about supporting affordable housing in our community.

The spirit of the day was a reminder that even under grey skies, people continue to show up for one another. Whether walking as part of a team, volunteering, donating, or cheering others on, every person contributed to the sense of community that makes Tulipathon so meaningful year after year.

To date, Tulipathon has raised just over $89,000 toward this year’s goal of $125,000. While the walk itself may be over, fundraising continues until June 30. Every dollar raised supports MHI tenant subsidies, helping individuals and families maintain safe, affordable housing.

There is still time to help us reach our goal. Together, we can continue making a lasting difference in the lives of MHI tenants.
