Bhaktimarga Swami, a Hare Kirshna monk, walked through Agassiz on Wednesday morning as part of a pilgrimage awareness walk across Canada.

He has been walking across the country over the course of four summers, to encourage people to consider embracing a slower, more thoughtful pace of life. He is also doing speaking engagements at yoga studios and recreational centers along the way.
