Walkers are being invited to bring a donation of $200 and a candle.
As many people as possible will be given collection cans, which will be used to solicit funds from motorists and pedestrians during the peak traffic period. Walkers will re-converge at the park for an evening of reflection, forming a human chain around the track for a candle-lighting ceremony.
Departing from Emancipation Park, the planned routes are:
- Group 1: Knustford Boulevard to Trafalgar Road to Devon House entrance and return
- Group 2: Along Oxford Road to Half Way Tree Road to Chelsea Avenue to Dominica Drive to Knutsford Boulevard and return.
- Group 3: Along Oxford Road to Belmont Road/Worthington Avenue to Trafalgar Road to Knutsford Boulevard and return.
