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.

  1. An impressive share! I have just forwarded this
    onto a friend who was conducting a little research on this.
    And he actually ordered me breakfast because I discovered it for him…

    lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this issue here on your internet site.

  2. I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
    I do not know who you are but definitely you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!

  3. First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like
    to ask if you do not mind. I was interested
    to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
    I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting
    my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
    to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
    or tips? Cheers!

  4. I believe what you posted was very logical. However,
    think on this, what if you typed a catchier post title?
    I am not suggesting your information is not solid, however what if you added
    a title that makes people desire more? I mean Walk for Reconciliation –
    Nature is Love is kinda vanilla. You could look at Yahoo’s front
    page and watch how they create article headlines to get people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it might bring your
    posts a little bit more interesting.

  9. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My
    site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either
    created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my
    agreement. Do you know any ways to help protect against content from being
    ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.
