Join TMX and POGO on Thursday, October 16, 2025, for the inaugural "TMX Ring the Bell" event – a collaborative initiative to open and close the markets while raising crucial funds for the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO). This inspiring day brings colleagues, friends, and the community together through movement, connection, and purpose, all to support children and their families facing cancer.

Our Goal: Together, we’re aiming to raise $100,000 to ensure equitable access to the best care and support for everyone affected by childhood cancer.

Be Part of Something Meaningful

This event is your chance to make a tangible impact and contribute to improving health outcomes for childhood cancer patients in Ontario and beyond.

The Event: Ring the Bell!

Participants will kick off the day by opening the market at 9:30 AM and complete their chosen walking route before the market close celebration at 4:00 PM. The event will be hosted at the TMX Market Centre in downtown Toronto (100 Adelaide St. West), a premier venue crafted for significant impact.

As part of this initiative, the TMX Cycling Team will be joining in their own way—on wheels! They’ll ride from the TMX office to Burlington after opening the markets and return just in time to close the day with the final market bell.

Choose Your Walk Challenge

The Walk – Open to All. TMX Staff, POGO Staff, friends, and colleagues are invited to walk and choose from four various distances suitable for all fitness levels. Our scenic walking routes will take you through Toronto’s vibrant urban landscape, offering a relaxed yet meaningful experience.
