Across Canada Multi-Faith Walk Against Violence

Historic Anti-Violence Walk Completes First Milestone

Today, the Multi-Faith Walk Against Violence passed its first Milestone by completing the walk across Nova Scotia. This morning the members of the Walkathon visited the Amherst, Nova Scotia Town Hall where the Deputy Mayor of Amherst welcomed the members of the Walkathon and presented them with souvenirs. After a brief ceremony at the town hall, the team resumed the walk. They crossed the boarder into New Brunswick this afternoon.

The Walkathon arrived in Sackville, New Brunswick where Sackville’s deputy mayor welcomed the team at the town hall and also presented them with souvenirs.

Tomorrow, Saturday April 26, the Walkathon will be arriving in Moncton, New Brunswick. The members of the Walkathon will be available for a media briefing outside the city hall (in case the city hall is closed).

The Walk is expected to end in Victoria, B.C. by October/November, 2008.
