The Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre annual “WALK for the BEST” walkathon is a vital fundraiser that brings our patient and family community together in support of our healthcare programs.

Celebrate our 3rd Annual Fall Market in the Barn with us! Support local with over 50 unique handcrafted vendors, indulge in delicious food from our Food Truck Paddock, meet and feed Highland cows and goats and more! With winding trails, a picturesque property, and a beautiful cozy bonfire, it makes the perfect Fall day on the farm.
