The 12th annual Grandmothers Walk will take place this Thursday to raise awareness for the prevention of child exploitation. Jeremiah Herman who is the Project Director for the Aboriginal Head Start program welcomes everyone to the walk on Thursday.
" We are going to start at the Neighbors Of The North Park next to Super K, right beside the David Collins monument. We will join elder Margaret Head who is going to have a pipe ceremony and smudging. Then we are going to be walking down Main street to Pioneer Square , it is confirmed that we will have a police escort. Once we get there we are going to have a couple different performers including the Youth Centre Drummers And Dancers as well as the Northern Lights Womens Singers."
Following the walk, everyone is invited to Pioneer Square for a ceremony featuring remarks and soup and bannock. There is another Grandmothers Walk being planned for Cranberry on September the 25th.
