Medicine Walk Planned


A medicine walk through the Rocky Inlet Ski Area is planned for next week.

Kerry Zub of the United Native Friendship Centre says participants can learn about the cultural and healing properties of the area's floral and fauna.

"What we have is a few elders come in from around the local area," says Zub, "and we walk in through the bush and they teach us about the healing properties about the medicines found in the area."

Zub says because a lunch is provided for the September 15 walk, registration by calling the Friendship Centre at 274-3207, Albert Calder, Couchiching NNADAP worker at 274-0441 or Josphine Potson at the Health Access Centre at 274-3131 is needed by Friday.
