In Trenton, part of the City of Quinte West, we ran to the YMCA as a big team with most of our runners.
Children and staff were eagerly awaiting our arrival.
Mayor John Williams looks on intently as we present our program to the children and staff.
Even the young children were listening intently as we explained a little about our journey.

Finding peace in the heart is something everyone tries and some find it easier than others.

We offer our Certificates of Appreciation to the Mayor and the YMCA for their enthusiastic participation in this event.
Everyone then got a chance to hold the torch and make a wish for peace and harmony in their own ways.
Terry Cassidy offered us a very soulful message as he addressed the crowd. He basically stressed the idea of being kind to each other and carrying love in our hearts in whatever we do.
Oneness.
A student's invention. Can you guess what it is?

Looks like lunch was a success after a long hard run.
Before you know it we were eating dinner. A few hours did lapse in between meals which gave us enough time to get to our friends', Hladini and Paramita's, in Kingston. They supplied us with a fantastic meal.
In the evening we camped out at the Ivy Lea Campground in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario. These curious children approached us to find out what we were doing. They very willingly wanted to share the torch for peace together. A nice way to end the day just as we began it, with peaceful and thoughtful children.
