Prince George couple returns from cross-Canada missing Indigenous people walk – Vancouver Is Awesome
Cameron and Charity West celebrated as they completed the Highway of Tears portion of their awareness walk
Prince George couple Cameron and Charity West have officially been welcomed home from a five-month-walk across the country, and an additional 17-day-walk across the Highway of Tears, to raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous people.
They were also joined on the Highway of Tears leg of their journey by supporters Gary West and Wendy Brown.

Going through six pairs of shoes each, they walked every day despite the conditions, and braved rain, wildfires, snowstorms, tornadoes, and more, as they continued their journey.
The cause is important to Charity, who is a Tlazten Nation member. She experienced the loss of the father of her son who went missing 11 years ago, while Cameron grew up in Fort Babine and Grainisle in central B.C. and has lost numerous high school friends and family.
