The Pilgrimage to Burns Bog is a free event, hosted by both environmental and faith groups who have united over their shared concerns about the construction of the South Fraser Perimeter Road.
A pilgrimage is a ritual that belongs to no single religious or cultural tradition. Burns Bog is a sacred site and the pilgrimage brings together people concerned about the environment and the protection of the bog.
