Upcoming EVENTS

May 23-25: Walking Winnipeg Rivers

Walk across Winnipeg with the Camino Manitoba community on May 23-25! Enjoy excellent company, music, Saturday supper and participate in an Indigenous water ceremony.
We’re very excited to walk with you, mindful of all our relations: the history of the land, the wise cottonwoods, the flowing rivers. Last week a Camino reconnaissance team visited one of these ancient enormous cottonwoods on the McBeth Grounds and were in awe. We can’t wait to share the contemplative practice we’ll do together with this immense presence.
Each day’s walk will be one way, so we will meet at our end point first and then our Camino MB team will shuttle walkers to the starting point.
Friday, May 23, 1:30 - 7 p.m. 10 km Meet at Whittier Park at 1:30 pm. In the evening we’ll be serenaded by musicians Anne-Marie Williot and Ian Cherry
Saturday, May 24, 9:15 a.m. - 7 p.m. 20 km We’ll hear about the history of Frog Plain before walking through the beautiful cottonwood forest on the McBeth Grounds.
