Dear Editor:

Re: Our soldiers deploying to Iraq and Mali.

On Saturday, Aug. 25, I began my “Walk for Our Troops” activity.

I decided to walk from Osoyoos to Oroville and back to show support for Canadian and U.S. troops deploying around the world.

I want to continue walking in this endeavor and will be walking again on Saturday, Sept. 8 along Osoyoos Lake.

Starting at the town hall at 9 a.m., the route will take me along Highway 3 east, along Lakeshore Drive and back, a 15-km round trip. The distance is a level walk, run, bike or rollerblade.

Would you like to join me for all or part of this distance? Come show your support for the troops and their families.

For information, call me at 250-495-4577 or visit our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/events/298671367352764/.

Working together, we can show our troops that we support them.

Thank you for your participation.
