The region’s Metis Settlements continue to take a stand against drugs in their communities. Peavine Metis Settlement held a walk June 9 with students and staff at Bishop Routhier School as well as community leaders and citizens taking part. The walk began at the Peavine Recreation Centre and proceeded south to the boundary with the M.D. of Big Lakes. Everyone was bused to High Prairie, where the walk concluded through the streets of town. Above, the walk winds its way down a hill and around the corner just south of the Peavine Cemetery. More on Peavine’s walk in next week’s South Peace News. Gift Lake Metis Settlement held a similar walk June 6.
