Description of Activity:

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To honour this solemn milestone and renew our collective commitment to peace, Nova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace and Peace Quest Cape Breton invite you to participate in the “80 km for 80 Years Peace Walk.”

Led by Mi’gmaq water and land protectors, this walk will trace an 80 km route across Mi’kma’ki from Pugwash to Truro from September 15 to 21, culminating on the International Day of Peace.

Why We Walk:

To remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
To walk together across communities and cultures.
To create space for truth, reconciliation, and reparative justice.
To centre Indigenous and African Nova Scotian youth voices.
To affirm our shared vision for a just and peaceful world.

Walkers will visit local schools, including Pugwash District High School—Canada’s only school declared “nuclear weapons free.” We’ll gather stories, foster intergenerational connections, and close with a celebration and community panel in Truro.
