VICTORIA — A Saskatchewan man who walked across Canada to raise awareness about domestic abuse was greeted by a tiny cheering section as he arrived at the Terry Fox statue at Mile 0 in Victoria after a four-month odyssey.
A beaming Conrad Burns says he endured blizzards, winds and long stints without food during a journey where he was able to speak with Canadians about ending domestic abuse.
