Advertorial Anishinabek Police Services, Sgt. Kevin Redsky of the Curve Lake Detachment had a personal vision to embark on a walk that would raise awareness for youth mental health and called this walk – Hope in the Darkness. He began his walk on April 1, 2018 on the east coast and was joined by other police officers, youth, frontline workers and communities. The walk has travelled to communities, towns and cities to meet with young people to listen and have powerful dialogues about mental health that are culturally-safe, supportive and empowering. The walk partnered with the rock band Mumford & Sons to use their music for the walk’s name and anthem song Ghosts that we knew. Founder Sergeant Kevin Redsky from Shoal Lake #40 began the walk in St. John’s, NFLD on April 1 and walked through Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. Cst. Robert Campbell also of the Curve Lake Detachment and a member of the Algonquins of Greater Gold Lake began the west coast walk in Haida Gwaii and walked BC. Constable Mitchell Boulette from Hollow Water walked Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The walk was officially completed on August 4, 2018 and a national organization called Strength in Continuous Change will continue the work of Hope in the Darkness. Strength in Continuous Change is designed to support communities to be active in the lives of youth struggling with mental health issues and/or live in high-risk situations. Strength in Continuous Change values culture, language and land-based learning as a vehicle for building strong identities. Anishinabek Police Service was extremely proud to support Sgt. Redsky and Cst. Campbell in their action to raise awareness to an issue that affects every single First Nation Community. Hope in the Darkness is a national call to action for police officers to walk for youth mental health.
