Saskatoon ‘Rock Your Roots’ Walk breaks personal record with over five thousand attendees [Video]

A sea of orange stretched as far as the eye could see along Saskatoon’s riverfront as a record-breaking 5,000-plus people took part in the ‘Rock Your Roots’ Walk on Friday.

The Indigenous-centered event celebrated the diverse cultures of Saskatoon, marking a significant moment for the community.

“We’ve heard from so many survivors that this is an opportunity to get to walk with all the generations of their family and be seen by the greater community so that community members can show their commitment to truth and reconciliation,” said Carrie Catherine, director of Reconciliation Saskatoon.

Cultural displays adorned the path, emphasizing the event’s focus on both the youth and elders of the Indigenous community, bridging the past and the future.
