Good Life for Young People Walk

Several members of first nations in Treaty #3 are on a walking tour of the region.

The small group set out Monday from Rainy River First Nation.

Al Hunter says the walk is to raise funds and awareness of the Good Life for Young People Foundation.

"The Walk for Good Life is just one initiative of the Good Life for Young People for Foundation which has been in development for the past several years," says Hunter. "It sponsors a late summer concert every year. Our fourth annual concert is coming up. We're also trying to raise funds so that we can fund youth projects and initiatives."

The group will complete its walk back in Rainy River First Nation on Monday.
