Darkness Into Light 2026

Walk with us from darkness into light.

Before sunrise on Saturday, May 9, 2026, communities around the world will gather for Darkness Into Light, a global 5 km walk that honours hope, remembers those lost to suicide, and supports people who may be struggling.

As the walk begins in the early morning darkness and ends with the rising sun, it symbolizes a powerful truth: even in the hardest moments, light can return.

Here in British Columbia, participants support the Crisis Centre of BC, helping ensure compassionate crisis support is available for anyone who needs it. For more than 55 years, the Crisis Centre has been there for people experiencing crisis, loneliness, grief, or thoughts of suicide.

By taking part, you help strengthen life-saving services including 24/7 crisis lines, suicide prevention training, youth education, and suicide grief support.

Join the Walk

Darkness Into Light takes place on Saturday, May 9, 2026.

Participants will gather at 4:00 AM, and the walk will begin at approximately 4:15 AM as we move together from darkness toward the sunrise.

Meeting Location: Burnaby Lake Rugby Club
