Saskatchewan man’s walk raises awareness about domestic violence
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — When a man from Prince Albert, Sask., started his walk across the country three months ago, he was fulfilling a longtime goal to explore Canada and spread a message close to his heart.
But even Conrad Burns will openly admit he had no idea what he was walking into.
The 7,400-kilometre trek began April 1 in St. John’s, N.L., as a way to raise awareness about domestic violence.
Burns, who is also running to become Prince Albert’s mayor in the fall civic election, now has less than 1,500 kilometres to go to reach his final destination.
