The Waterwalk started at Mile 0 and continued to the Parliament Buildings where 25 people joined Eloise in a ceremony at the fountain in the back. The walking stick that Nicholas, her eldest son, made for her was passed around the circle as a talking stick. Each person spoke from the heart about water and its significance to their lives... Eloise spoke last and many of us were moved to tears by her passionate and inspirational words. "This is a people's movement. We are all leaders and responsible for protecting the last of our resources. This is the last call and we must act now!"
