The Mi'kmaw Walking Program, which aims to increase walking among our 13 Mi’kmaq communities, will focus on the participation of women, ages 25-70, particularly for the leader training. The activities themselves, however, will also include all community members, including children, youth, elders and men. Women are the main target group, as they are also the influencers who will help bring the community together.
The program will include a walk and talk series educating participants on Mi’kmaq history using language, legends and storytelling. There will be regular activities and challenges. Ultimately, it will support healthy lifestyles, reduce chronic disease and connect our communities with the traditional activity of walking.
