Columbia Lake Water Walk

Join Myeengun Henry for a walk around Columbia Lake in honour of Indigenous water activist, Josephine Mandamin! In 2003, Josephine Mandamin began walking around the Great Lakes to raise awareness about water pollution. In response to Indigenous Teachings that water is sacred and is essential for all life to sustain on Mother Earth, we will walk in unity around Columbia Lake to remember our obligation to keep water clean and continue Josephine’s commitment alive.
