This year 10 communities across Ontario hosted a Walk to raise awareness and funds for SSO's programs and services. Each year, thousands of people take part in the annual Walk of Hope. Friends, families and supporters all came together to walk the streets and show their support.

On May 27th 2007 members of the Toronto, EMO, Peel, Hart House and Scarborough Amateur Radio Groups provided communications and public safety for walkers participating in the Walk of Hope Toronto. Walkers left Nathan Phillips Square at 13:00 hrs and proceeded up Bay St to College St, along College to Yonge St, down Yonge to Queen St and back to Nathan Phillips Square.

ARES members were posted along the route providing reports to Net Control of the walks progress. ARES members also participated in the walk providing public safety making sure walkers did not wander into busy traffic lanes. The event was very successful with no incidents being reported.
