Community Involvement Helping a widow by cleaning up her yard.

There is a group of individuals who are walking from Manitoba, along the Highway of Tears to Prince Rupert.  They are called the, "Walk for the missing and murdered 2015."  Many of the individuals walking have had family members go missing or been murdered.  We were able to support their cause and meet the members.  We heard speeches from the Canim Lake Chief and the mayor.  We listened to a traditional Aboriginal song.  We walked along the highway leading the group out of town.  It was a very eye opening experience.

Sports Day including Dodge Ball, Treasure Island, parachute, bike race and gymnastics course!
