Heavily impacted by numerous losses of close family and friends, Cameron and Charity West are on a mission to 'create a comfortable space for an uncomfortable conversation'
A married couple from northern British Columbia is walking across the country in order to educate the public on missing and murdered Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
The crux of the walk is all too familiar to the Wests, having gone through life losing numerous people around them — from people they went to high school with to close family members — without any resolution or closure. Her son Tyrrehz lost his father, Barry Blaine Thomas Seymour, after he went out to visit friends and family in Prince George, B.C. in 2012. It was Tyrrehz’s ninth birthday when his father suddenly went missing. The 2018 murder of Cameron’s cousin, Jessica Patrick, has yet to be solved. Her body was found outside of Smithers, B.C. on Hudson Bay Mountain after searchers noticed birds circling around an object. “This isn’t just family, it's people that we grew up with as well,” Cameron said.
The married couple are using those losses to fuel their walk across the country, all in an effort to share with those who have lived through similar experiences and to educate people — especially non-Indigenous Canadians — about missing and murdered Indigenous Peoples.
