Timeline of event:

  • A sacred fire will be lit at 7 am and will be
    attended by the children from the Selkirk Friendship Centre daycare but not open to the general public.

Although today we can't walk as a whole group, you are welcome to walk on your own and anytime of the day.  There will be signs posted along the route providing helpful information and resources around the issue of sexual exploitation.  Below is a map for you to reference as you walk.
