The University of Sudbury's Development and Peace committee is holding a walkathon Sept. 29.

The 20-kilometre walk is in “solidarity with the 68.5 million children, women, and men who have been forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, and other threats to their safety,” said information provided by organizers.

Development and Peace (The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace) is the official international development organization of the Catholic Church in Canada.

Its mission is to support partners in the global south who promote alternatives to unfair social, political and economic structures, and educate the Canadian population about the causes of poverty and mobilize Canadians toward actions for change.

The event starts at 9 a.m. at Moonlight Beach. Donate online at www.devp.org/walk/2320 or contact Carmen Bertrand at 705-563-0033 or [email protected]
