Saskatchewan River Water Walk group hopes to raise awareness of need to protect water source

The Saskatchewan River Water Walk is continuing this week as the grassroots group heads across Saskatchewan and Alberta, raising awareness of the need for people to respect the water as a life source. The group were in the Delmas and Battlefords area recently, and will finish the walk east of Prince Albert, at the Saskatchewan River Forks. Organizer Tasha Beeds says the aim of the walk is to increase understanding of the value of the North Saskatchewan River in people’s lives, today and into the future. “It’s more about raising consciousness about the need to see that water as living, to see that all of life needs water,” she said.
