Principal

Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, On Sunday, May 28, the fourth annual walk for human
values organized by the Sathya Sai School of Toronto took place in Malvern Community of
Myride in Scarborough Rouge River
Minister Herrena Takar and myself
joined over 2,00 paarticipants  from across the GTA to 
walk in the name of peace, nonviolence, truth, and love.h
One participant  in the crowd, Ms. Megan Bennett, traveled all the way from FootHill Ranch, 
California, with the goal of
 implementing a similar walk in her community in 2007.

Mr. Speaker, this walk has now become a trailblazer for cities across Canada, 12 of which held
their own walk for human values on the same date. The Cities of Edmonton, Regina, and
Saskatoon proclaimed May 28 as Human Values Day in their cities.

Mr. Speaker, this walk was not about
raising funds, or provoked by anger. Instead it was focused on character building and encouraging 
role models in the community.

Walking together as kindred spirits, participants raised awareness of the need to practice
the values of tolerance, understanding, and respect, values that are gradually being
eroded by negative forces.

The walkers conveyed their messages of human values
through songs and decorated floats.
The participants' demonstrations of understanding, peace, and commitment

to postive change  show us all
the importance recognizing our values.

in their efforts in making
a difference in our community, our province, and in Canada

through their walk for human values. Thank you.
