Bridge Crossing
September 8 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm EDT
On National Grandparents Day connect with the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign on the Chief William Commanda Bridge from Ottawa to Gatineau. Cross the bridge with Ottawa-Gatineau Regional network of grandmothers to act in solidarity with grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa. Add to the grandmothers’ cross-Canada “Clothesline” to raise awareness of this important work and affirming support. The Ottawa One World Grannies, who are organizing this event, invite grandparents, “grand-others”, children and anyone who would like to join in to walk, bike or run across the bridge to celebrate the day.
