Do The Loop
Share
From September 17 to 23, grab your running shoes, jump on your bike, or assemble a team of friends, Participants can walk, wheel, roll, bike, or run!
We designed this event to provide opportunities for all members of the community to participate in a variety of ways. Participants can do the official 25km route, along the City of Victoria’s scenic border, the 25k Capital Bike-sponsored safe cycling route (great for kids, families or new bikers), or any 25km route of their own creation anywhere in the city, country, or world! They can Do The Loop solo or as part of a relay team and can participate for fun or to fundraise. Every participant will get a customized fundraising page where they can ask friends, family or the community for donations. Participants are encouraged to track their route using a GPS app so we can share the results and encourage donations. Threshold Housing Society’s mission is to open doors for youth and prevent adult homelessness. They serve at-risk youth experiencing homelessness, aging out of care, or fleeing violence in the home. Threshold offers safe housing, community and support to help youth make healthy choices and shift towards a brighter future. They have operated in Victoria for over 30 years and provide long-term housing spaces for youth in the region.
• There is a housing crisis in the region and our local community association wanted to give back to those facing homelessness by supporting the important work of the Threshold Housing Society, who operates two homes in South Jubilee. We want this event to be fun and bring people together from across the region while raising funds and awareness for Threshold and celebrating our amazing City. One additional exciting element is the closing ceremony festival, which we will host in Redfern Park on Sunday, September 26, from 11-4 featuring Red Barn BBQ, live music, and activities for kids. Everyone is welcome! - Matt Dell, Event Organizer & President of the South Jubilee Neighbourhood Association
• “Threshold Housing Society provides a critical service by offering housing to at-risk youth who are at risk of homelessness. With their unique approach, Threshold offers real long-term solutions and plays a vital role in supporting youth in our community. I encourage everyone who likes to run, bike, or commute by any means, to “Do The Loop” around Victoria. If everyone asks for $25 for 25km, we can really give back to an incredible local organization!” – Laurel Collins, Member of Parliament for Victoria
• Here at Threshold Housing Society, we are grateful recipients of the Do the Loop fundraiser. The funds raised through Do the Loop are going to help us continue our mission of providing safe homes and brighter futures to at-risk youth in our community. As a non-profit organization, Threshold Housing relies significantly on our community’s support, and we are thrilled to be part of an event that allows us to safely get together, foster healthy movement, and celebrate among members of the community as we work together toward brighter futures for youth in our community. – Colin Tessier, Executive Director at Threshold Housing Society
