A Nova Scotia man walking across Canada to support palliative care will be in our area today.  Ian Bos from Pictou County has an event scheduled for 11 this morning at Dinelle’s General Store in Echo Bay.  Ian will be meeting with local MP Bryan Hayes and 12-year old Sarah Nelson who also supports hospice and palliative care through her Sarah Bugs Sweet Treats initiative.  Ian will also be visiting the local ARCH hospice.  Ian left New Glasgow, Nova Scotia on May 21st and is averaging 45-kilometres a day.  He is scheduled to finish in mid-October in Victora, BC.  Ian became inspired to do something for the cause in honour of his dad who passed away in January but had received excellent palliative care.  You can find out more information by visiting his website at www.ianswalk2015.com or visiting his Facebook page.
