Here are two not-very-good photos of the Reconciliation Walk in downtown Vancouver yesterday.

The heavy rain did little to dampen the spirits of any of the people I saw. The CBC estimates 10,000 marchers; the Vancouver Sun says 70,000. I just know there were a lot of people, showing their support for the Truth and Reconciliation process.
