About the Walk Your Talk Campaign

The “Walk Your Talk” campaign calls on the Cree leadership to make a firm commitment to take concrete actions on dependencies/addictions in the Eeyou Istchee.

As part of this campaign the Uschinitsuu Team of Cree Public Health has started a 671 km virtual walk from Mistissini to Eastmain. We are walking to create awareness on the issues of dependencies/ addictions in the Eeyou Istchee and to deliver proposed resolutions to the Assembly.  We want the whole Cree Nation to work together to address dependencies /addictions in Eeyou Istchee.
