Past Hikes

Annual Seize the Day Walk/Run

The Seize the Day Walk/Run is a new annual walk held by Saltbox Brewery in Mahone Bay, NS. We enjoyed some epilepsy-themed music trivia and the launch of a purple beer sold for the day in support of EAM. We can’t wait to see everyone back for year two! 

Unicorn Purple Hike for Epilepsy

The Unicorn Purple Hike for Epilepsy is an annual hike held at the Bay Community Centre in the Head of St Margaret’s Bay, NS at the beginning of October. The Unicorn Hike is planned and hosted every year by the fantastic staff and volunteers of the Unicorn Theatre. Check out some of the group photos from the years and follow Unicorn Theatre Here!
