We walk on this beautiful land, the unceded territory of the Stó:lō peoples, from Fort Langley to the site of St. Mary’s IRS in Mission. We will walk in lament of Indigenous children, talk about truth and reconciliation efforts and how to build respectful relationships with Indigenous neighbours and learn more about Indigenous culture. Join us!
People can sign up for individual walks, Group Walks, or a solidarity walk in your own neighbourhood. People can register to attend any of the workshop events taking place throughout the weekend. This is a free event for all!
