Walk for Reconciliation

 

The Walk for Reconciliation this past Sunday was a great success. Although I struggled to get my sleepy and sick self out of bed on Sunday morning, it was such a moving experience to be a part of. Over 70,000 people united on the rainy streets of Vancouver to walk for human rights and understanding.

Despite the pouring rain, we all stood together for several hours in a sea of umbrellas. It was great to be apart of something so big. The video below was uploaded by Reconciliation Canada on Youtube, and shows some of the highlights from the event.

 

Upon finishing, each person was given a tiny wooden block. These gifts were created by school kids throughout BC who were being taught about the reconciliation process. Each block had a word written on it, with the other side uniquely decorated by a child. The one I received said the word “Courage” on it, and has some adorable pink flowers.

 
 

Courage is certainly a great virtue to live by, and I treasure the token for what it represents. I’m glad I participated in this important event and I feel very humbled by it.

  6. Hi! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does running a well-established website such as yours take
    a large amount of work? I’m completely new to blogging but I do write in my
    diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and thoughts online.

    new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

  8. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from
    PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of
    the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for
    about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.

    I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a
    way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

    talking about on the net. You actually realize how to bring an issue
    to light and make it important. More and more people really need to check this out and understand this side of
    the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular since you definitely have the gift.
