The annual Pulling together event was hosted by Brandon Police Service, Brandon Urban Aboriginal Peoples Council and Truth and Reconciliation Week Committee. The sixteen canoes and kayaks were part of the numerous activities held to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. (Michele McDougall/The Brandon Sun)
