travelbrands inviting the industry to Step Up for SickKids

travelbrands is inviting travel advisors to come together for a meaningful cause as its annual SickKids Walk Fundraiser returns on Tues., Aug. 25, 2026, in support of SickKids Foundation.

This year, the walk will take place simultaneously at travelbrands’ Toronto and Montreal offices, bringing employees and members of the Canadian travel community together around one shared purpose: supporting SickKids.

Participants will walk from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by lunch at both offices and an opportunity to connect with colleagues and friends from across the industry.

Nathalie Tanious, President & CEO of H.I.S. Canada Travel Inc., parent company of travelbrands, said: “Giving back has always been an important part of who we are, and this walk is an opportunity to bring our travel community together around a cause that means so much to us.”

Tanious continued: “We see firsthand what can happen when our industry comes together with a shared purpose, and we hope travel advisors and members of the trade media will join us on August 25. Every person who walks alongside us helps strengthen our collective support for the extraordinary work SickKids does for children and families every day.”

travelbrands and its parent company, H.I.S. Canada Travel Inc., have a longstanding relationship with SickKids Foundation and have raised more than $3 million in support of SickKids through fundraising initiatives over the years.

Travel advisors are invited to join travelbrands employees in Toronto or Montreal and help make every step count. Participants are asked to raise a minimum of $25 in support of SickKids Foundation, with all funds raised helping contribute to travelbrands’ continued commitment to the cause.
