Michael has been doing a walking tour throughout Canada over the last 5 years, and have covered over 2800 miles of the country this way. It is a national community building project centred around wellness and connection, and stems from my late father's way of life and music. Learn more at http://michaelaverill.com/bio/.
Michael's goal is to visit every province and territory in the country, to walk over 3000 miles, and to build connection and community along the way through story, song, and conversation.
