VTS at Walk for Reconciliation
On September 22, 20 members of the Vancouver Taiko Society gathered together to perform for the Walk for Reconciliation in support of First Nations residential schools survivors. It rained. It poured. But it failed to dampen the spirits of the 70,000 people who took part in the walk. As the walkers entered the finish area we drummed our hearts out for the assembled masses. It was a grand day. We were happy to be there to share the spirit of reconciliation.
