A good walk

 




Here are the photos of our community circle before our walk on Wednesday! There was a great turn out and many students made it the 7.8!km to the airport! Most got rides home but the spirit was positive and I think everyone felt like they were doing something. The Elder who spoke said that “our young people dying for reasons other than disease hurts too much and that we all need to be strong for each other.” It was really powerful! 

The walk was windy and long with bare patches and snow banks like this


It was a good day.
