If you don’t feel you can walk the route (a bit less than a mile) – join in at any place along the route (through The Forks and along Waterfront Drive) or just meet the parade at the Thistle monument. This is the 5th Annual Selkirk Settler parade, and each year we need to have more and more representation from MLHS people. Barry is on the Scottish Heritage Council of Manitoba, and will be part of the planning for the 2012 celebration events.
