Reconnecting with Simon Walls—now in Montreal—about his walk across Canada

Singer-songwriter Simon Walls’ travels began shortly after the loss of a friend to suicide. He spent seven months in the Katimavik program and then walked across Spain, accompanied by the book “The Pilgrimage”, by Paulo Coelho. In April 2010 he left Victoria on what will be a cross-Canada walk—to share his music and experiences. He stopped by Nanaimo on April 22nd, and joined the People First Radio broadcast. Simon also spoke with us from Saskatchewan on Canada Day. He has been written up in Canadian Geographic and in an article called Breaking down Simon’s walls in Toronto-based Sticky Magazine.

We catch up with Simon Walls as he takes a winter break in Montreal before continuing his walking trek further to Canada’s eastern coast.
