CAPA Photo Walk - Sept 19, 2026

On Saturday, September 19th, CAPA is proud to continue the CAPA Annual Photo Walk.

Continuing the annual tradition that brings photographers together from coast to coast, and everywhere in between. From the east coast to the west, from the southern border to the northern reaches, this is a day to celebrate photography, community and creativity.  

EVERYONE IS INVITED TO JOIN

CAPA members, non-members, photo clubs, camera enthusiasts, and curious beginners alike. This national event is about getting out in your local community to enjoy a walk, take photos, connect with fellow photographers, and capture the beauty of Canada through your lens. Whether you’re shooting landscapes, urban life, wildlife, or candid street moments, your perspective matters. Get ready to walk, shoot and share!
