World Parkinson’s Day Event

QPK is run by Queen’s University students and is a club based around supporting the local Kingston Parkinson’s Disease Community. Our club strives to increase awareness of Parkinson’s disease (PD), foster support on campus, connect with Kingston support groups, and fundraise for Parkinson Canada and Parkinson’s disease-related research. It is our hope that QPK can help and equitably support students and members of the Kingston community who are affected by PD.

Each year, QPK organizes an event for World Parkinson’s Day. This full-day event usually consists of an exercise class led by a registered physiotherapist, a speaker series (with Queen’s University researchers and/or Kingston General Hospital researchers/clinician-scientists), and a creative art session to raise awareness for PD and bring the community together.

Location: Kinesiology Hall Rm 100 and 107
