On the same day, Joe Roberts takes the <b><a href="http://www.thepushforchange.com/">Push for Change</a></b> to Ottawa. The Push for Change is a walk across Canada to support the end of youth homelessness. Having begun in St. John's on May 1, and ending in Vancouver 517 days later, Joe is pushing a cart across Canada to share the message that we can end youth homelessness. As of today, day 104, Joe has walked over 2000 km - with "just" over 7000 to go. On September 27, Joe takes his campaign and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWnW5bAouCw&feature=youtu.be">inspiring message</a> to Ottawa, and to our community barbecue.
