Our Trail Walk plans have changed as we have decided to complete our Confederation Trail journey on the 8th June.

The walkers, David McIsaac, Leah & Gilles Michaud and Bill Costain pointing to the Souris Junction sign reminding us that this is not the way, rather we will head east to Elmira. |
David tries his best to convince the MLA, Buck Watts that we need the leadership of the government in the Eradication of Poverty on PEI.
We are met by the women, Mary Malone and Helen McIsaac, representing the Souris Women's Institute and Catholic Women's League who encourages David to finish his walk.
We are all given the research document to bring attention to the public that we have a strategy and recommendation on dealing with poverty in PEI.
David, Gilles, Leah and Bill depart for Elmira.
We meet the Hickies from BC who are cycling back to their home province and we ask them to bring our message back to BC.

What is this, a mailbox along the trail! Bill checks for any mail but there is nothing for us today...must be because of the roving strike.
As we reach Munn's road 3 Km from Elmira David explains to us where his home was located and that this is where he was born 70 years ago.
As we approach the Elmira railroad Station we try our hand at switching the rail tracks.
Our final destination, the Confederation Trail sign.
Time to sit at the Elmira community park to celebrate the occasion with a birthday cake for David.
