2019 10th Annual Water Walk

The 10th Annual Water Walk in the Kawarthas took place on Mother’s Day Weekend, May 10, 11 & 12, 2019.

A dedicated group of water walkers walked all around Rice Lake. In total, we walked over 97 kms and took over 127,000 footsteps for nibi. Every step is a prayer.

Nibi Song


This song was written by Doreen Day at the request of her grandson. She attended a conference about the water in which the internationally known speaker, Dr. Masaru Emoto said,

“the very least we should do every day, is to speak to the water”


Here is the Song:

Water, we love you.
We thank you.
We respect you.

Nibi gee zaa gay a go
Gee Miigwech a wayn ni  ma go
Gee zhaa way ni ma go
