Sudbury's urban Junction Creek to see first ever Water Walk ceremony

The first ever water walk of Junction Creek in Greater Sudbury, is being planned for later this month. The urban waterway is well known for the litter and debris that collects in it regularly. But lead conductor, Tasha Beeds, says that's why they're doing it. The Indigenous ceremony of water walking calls attention to the life-giving nature water provides.

This will be done following all COVID guidelines.
