The Moose Hide Campaign Day Walk is a national event that seeks to end violence against women, children and Two-Spirit people.

“The moose hide is medicine to the culture,” said event organizer Jacqueline Ouellet. “We need to prevent violence, we need to interrupt violence, we need to respond to violence and we need to heal from violence.”

The walk began at Grand Parade and went to the Nova Scotia Legislature before returning to City Hall.
