With your help the Hog Jog raised $57,000 with more than 400 runners participating in the 3.5 km, 10 km and Weaner Run events. Hog Jog’s continuing success comes from the enthusiastic participation of runners and walkers, sponsors, neighborhood and industry cheerleaders, and the many volunteers who participate each year
Since 1973 L’Arche Stratford has been welcoming men and women with and without intellectual disabilities to live together in community. With four houses as well as supported-living, L’Arche Stratford is home to 26 core member individuals with disabilities. The acquisition of a Britannia Street property in 2017 has allowed L’Arche Stratford to develop a vision of a community inclusion hub. This facility will allow space to enhance the current day program, shifting from a program-centred model to an activity–based model, thereby serving a greater number of individuals living with intellectual disabilities in the Stratford area.
Our Honourary Hog Jog 2019 Chairs were Brian and Marloes Aitcheson. The Aitcheson family have farmed in Downie Township for five generations. They generously support funds, time and resources to numerous foundations. Their interest in giving back to youth has committed them to various sports and athletic associations in the community. The Aitcheson family supports the cause by being industry ambassadors and believes every individual has values and gifts and should be recognized as contributing people in our society.
