Walking back to Saskatoon
Dave Nordin (BSc’84) is embarking on a unique journey from Calgary to Saskatoon, one step at a time.
By Sean Conroy
Nordin is walking from his home in Calgary all the way to Saskatoon, approximately a 600km trek, in an effort to raise funds for two important causes. Nordin lost both his parents to heart disease, so the walk will raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The walk is also raising funds for the University of Saskatchewan's Ore Gangue Bursary Fund. Nordin has been connected with the Ore Gangue Students' Society for more than 35 years and hopes to raise the profile of the bursary fund.
Nordin took his first steps towards Saskatoon on May 20, with a goal of completing 25km per day, and should arrive in approximately a month at the U of S campus.
