If you have not decided whether you should come out to the Walk to Stop Human Trafficking yet (happening May 8), I received some more information which may help you decide (to come, that is!).
"We’ll be meeting at the Leg at noon. There will be a few short opening remarks, then we will start our walk at about 12:15pm. The walk is fairly short, it is 2.4 kilometers, which should only take about 30 minutes. From the Leg we will go north on Memorial to Portage, east on Portage to Carlton, south on Carleton to Broadway, then take Broadway back to the Leg. The route is basically just a big square. We will have a police escort so we can walk on the road, and we’re hoping the Winnipeg Police Mounted Unit riders will be in attendance to lead our walk. After the walk there will be a few more short speeches. I predict we will wrap up around 1:30ish."
Also, "Just to let you know, Mrs. Joy Smith is organizing an event at the Delta hotel following the walk. Four women who have been directly affected by human trafficking will be telling their stories. We are finalizing the invitation, if you are interested in this, please let me know [leanne@joysmithmp.ca], and I will email you the details. The charge is $20 at the door to cover the travelling expenses for the speakers."
