This Saturday marks the YWCA Thompson’s 15 years participating in the Walk-a-Mile in Her Shoes event.

Globally, the event is in its 23rd year.

The local walk starts at 11 am with a free barbecue open to the community in the YWCA parking lot at 39 Nickel Road.

The walk will follow at noon.

Nicole Apetagon, Women’s Programs Coordinator at the YWCA, encourages boys, men and anyone who identifies as male to register as soon as possible to start collecting funds.

The money raised goes to support women’s programming at the local YWCA.
