Join us May 29th, 30th and 31st for the 5th annual Walk in the Spirit of Reconciliation! This event is open to everyone.
This year's walk will be self guided, maps will be provided and you can walk at a time that works best for you! We will also be providing a Walk in the Spirit of Reconciliation t-shirt for all who participate in the walk. Please register for this event so we can contact you about the map and t-shirt.
Please follow social distancing guidelines while participating, please allow 2 metres between other people or groups of walkers.
We will be posting Indigenous information, stories and videos on the Facebook Event page throughout the week prior to the walk for you to read or watch before or during the Walk.
Post photos at the beginning and end of your selected route or a section of the Walk, so we know what routes have been completed. We look forward to seeing some fun photos shared of your walk this year!
If you don't live in the Fraser Valley area, you can still participate! Register for the event and select Solidarity Walk. Then go for a walk on May 29, 30 or 31 around your neighborhood, in a park or on a trail. Post pictures of your walk so we can see who is walking in what communities.
We hope you will join for any/all of the days as we walk as individuals or in our family groups in lament and solidarity with our First Nations brothers and sisters whose families have been affected by the residential schools for many generations. As anyone of our human family have been affected, we are all affected.
