Cameron and Charity West celebrated as they completed the Highway of Tears portion of their awareness walk

Prince George couple Cameron and Charity West have officially been welcomed home from a five-month-walk across the country, and an additional 17-day-walk across the Highway of Tears, to raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous people.

The cause is important to Charity, who is a Tlazten Nation member. She experienced the loss of the father of her son who went missing 11 years ago, while Cameron grew up in Fort Babine and Grainisle in central B.C. and has lost numerous high school friends and family. She said she fell to her knees when she took the final steps of her walk at the corner of Highway 16 and Ferry Avenue.

On the final day of their walk on Nov. 6, just as they were arriving in Prince George, the Vanderhoof RCMP announced the remains of Chelsey Quaw had been found.
