Indigenous youth from around B.C. participated in a multi-day canoe paddle on Okanagan Lake
A group of young people from across B.C. embarked on a 55.2 km journey along Okanagan Lake, in an effort to build a better relationship with the RCMP and Aboriginal communities.
This journey is an annual event held in collaboration with the West Kelowna RCMP Indigenous Police Service.
About 20 youth alongside Indigenous Elders and other chaperones, from several communities, were brought in to aid in the canoe trip that started in Summerland and came to an end at Bear Creek Provincial Park in West Kelowna.
