‘I am walking with my whole heart’: Healing walk addresses grief after deadly day on Highway 4
A Highway to Healing walk this weekend saw people come out to support Saskatchewan families grieving after two fatal crashes within hours of each other on Highway 4 earlier this month.
On July 5, a 48-year-old woman, and two boys aged 5 and 6 died in a collision between a truck and a van south of Cochin, just north of North Battleford. They were all from Flying Dust First Nation.
Less than three hours later a collision between a motorhome and SUV killed a 29-year-old woman and a six-month-old boy from Red Pheasant First Nation.
The walk was held in two parts over two days, with Saturday’s participants walking for more than six hours to cover 33 kilometres from Cochin to North Battleford.
