MS Walk Committee - General Coordinator
The 2025 St. Paul Jayman BUILT MS Walk takes place Sunday, May 25th. MS Walk is a one-day event happening in over 50 in-person locations in Canada where people impacted by multiple sclerosis come together. Whether you live with MS or know someone who does, MS Walk is a place to forge meaningful connections and build lifelong relationships that bring us closer toward a world free of MS. As part of the MS Walk Committee, you will plan and execute an inclusive, engaging event to connect and empower the MS community in your region. MS impacts all Canadians, which is why we urge people to move forward together at MS Walk and help build awareness for the disease, raising much needed funds to allow us to continue to support people affected by MS. This is a great opportunity to make an impact in your community using your talent and time. The General Coordinator will work closely with the team at the MS Canada to support gaps in the event planning process. This role involves a wide range of tasks, making it essential to be flexible, organized and a team player.
