Hundreds of Calgarians stepped forward in support of the World Partnership Walk at Prince’s Island Park Sunday.
The walk is in support of fighting global poverty and to be a positive force of change in the world.
One of those forces was front and centre on display at the event, after travelling across Canada.
The ‘Together’ exhibit is a customized mobile vehicle designed to spark the conversation about the role Canadians can play to help reduce global poverty.
The interactive exhibition is housed in a 53-foot, custom vehicle. With 1,000 square feet of exhibit space that features powerful photography, film and audio that bring the individual stories behind global change to life.
