The walk for values is an event held every year to commemorate the goals and values of various ethnic groups in Canada. This walk originally started in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada eight years ago and has since grown in popularity. This year the event was organized in Toronto on May 30th, 2010. More than 2,500 people attended the event, making this the biggest turnout yet. The participants of this event were from all age groups from toddlers to senior citizens. People from various ethnic groups gathered at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto with signs, floats and messages of peace, love, and unity.

The Sant Nirankari Mission’s youth also attended the event with lot of enthusiasm. The youth carried signage showing messages of Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj such as “Religion Unites Never Divides”, “Peace Not Pieces, let’s Work for it” and “Love All, Hate None”. The organizers of the event acknowledged the mission’s presence with warm welcome.

At the event, the youth were involved in pre-warm ups that encouraged the entire crowd to stretch and dance before the forty-five minute walk. During this time, the youth also interacted with other diverse groups and spread the message of the mission. Many people inquired about the mission’s philosophy and how the mission can help improve the world. People appreciated the universal message the mission portrays.

Overall, this walk for values was a great success and with the blessings of the Satguru we may not only walk for values but work for values in our daily lives too.
