FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A ZOMBIE WALK?
It's basically what zombies do best. Besides eating brains, they lurch, shamble and drag hinged limbs down the street.
​
WHY ARE WE DRESSING LIKE ZOMBIES?
What other monsters have such unity as a mass in death?! Plus it’s just fun. Oh and we'll be collecting non perishable food goods for the food bank.
MUST I COME AS A ZOMBIE?
All walkers should be attired in the dress of the undead. Spectators are also welcome at Grass Park but must not join the zombies on their walk.
​
CAN A GROUP JOIN IN?
Absolutely. Groups of Zombies are called Krewes and we welcome groups to join in - get your colleagues, friends or teammates together and come as a Krewe!
WHAT IS A ZOMBIE WALK LIKE? CAN I BRING MY CHILDREN?
Check out videos & photos from the Toronto or Vancouver Zombie Walks. Viewing them will give you a good idea of what a walk is like and will help you decide if you feel it is appropriate for your children to participate in. There tends to be a lot of blood and gore associated with Zombies so be forewarned.
​
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PARTICIPATE?
The event is free but we are asking everyone to bring a donation of at least two non-perishable food items for the food bank.
