The 2024 In Their Shoes awareness returns to the Quinte West community on Sunday, March 24, from 11 – 3:30 p.m. Rain or shine.
Join members of the Quinte West Community Task Force and community partners to learn about the work being done in Quinte West to support housing and homelessness challenges faced by community members.
The event includes short talks offered by community partners that are working hard to develop and implement community efforts aimed at reducing housing and homelessness challenges in our community, and a walk around downtown Trenton to learn about the challenges faced by members of the unhoused and precariously housed community in Quinte West.
The walk will start and finish at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Arena where local organizations will also be onsite with information booths on display.
Donations of food and warm weather clothing, deodorant, hygiene products, shoes, tents, sleeping bags, non-perishable food including gum, energy bars and ensure items are appreciated and will be distributed to the participating front-line social service organizations providing support to unhoused and precariously housed community members in Quinte West.

The Bay of Quinte RMB Land Acknowledgement
The Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board is committed to acknowledging, appreciating and understanding the Indigenous peoples’ historic connection to this land and to raising awareness by building relationships in collaboration with Indigenous partners and communities.
We recognize and acknowledge that we are living and working on the traditional territory of the Wendat, Mississauga, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee which includes the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka (Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte) with whom we work in direct partnership with.
This partnership focuses on the common goal of celebrating the region with the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka who are equal partners within the organization and at the Board of Directors table contributing to the mandate and operations.
This mandate includes listening to, learning from, and collaborating with the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka and actively incorporating their culture and heritage into the practice of responsible destination marketing and management of the region.
We understand that this land acknowledgement is only a small step towards the larger process of reparations and reconciliation.
