Friends of the Roxborough Greenbelt and the Junction Creek Stewardship Committee would like to thank the participants and supporters of the Winter Walkathon, held Sunday, February 10th, 2008. Special thanks to the Sudbury Samba Drum Squad who led some amazing drumming before the walk, to Rainbow Routes for the loan of snow-shoes, and to all the volunteers who made the event happen! At least 65 people of all ages, including representatives of Myths and Mirrors, the Green Party, Sudbury Animal Advocates, Cambrian College (Nature-based Adventure Tourism program), Girl Guides and Sea Cadets, braved some wild winter weather on the three kilometre walk. It turned out to be a fun afternoon of winter activities, with all proceeds going towards the conservation of the Roxborough Greenbelt as public greenspace. $1819 was raised.
