MLAs across the province are taking up a challenge to go barefoot for one hour in support of the Push for Change campaign to raise money and awareness about youth homelessness.
Families and Children Minister Stephen Horsman issued the challenge last week. He asked that they all attend tomorrow’s sitting of the Legislature,without their shoes.
Premier Brian Gallant is just one of many who is expected to arrive with toes exposed.
Donations made through the Barefoot Challenge are directed to the Upstream Project, a Canada-wide partnership focused on preventing homelessness through school-based programs.
There are ways you can donate as well, text 41010 with the word BOOTSFREDDY to donate $10. Half of the funds will remain in Fredericton to support Youth in Transition. People can also text BOOTS, to donate $10 to the project. Donations may also be made online here.
