As the city filed it
Every year, in cities from coast to coast to coast and online, thousands of Canadians get off their bums and run (or walk) to support research, patient care, and early screening for colon cancer. The Bum Run has directly raised more than $1.8 million for colon cancer charities and done incredible work promoting one of the most important parts of effective treatment: regular screening. I am glad to say that the Bum Run will march through my ward (and parts of Ward 13) again this year, coming to our city on April 26th, 2026.

Bum Run is a registered 100 percent non-profit, and any free-will donations made to the charity are directed towards their cause, cure, and awareness campaign. There are no mandatory fees or purchases associated with attending the Bum Run, although participants may make donations or pay a fundraising registration fee for a timing chip. The Run is staffed by volunteers. To support this event, I am asking that City Council waive both the application fee and event permission fee associated with partially closing or occupying the necessary arterial and collector roads for the Run. Combined, the fees would amount to $5,209.14.
