On Sunday, May 4th, more than 50 people came to Nicholls Oval to participate in the 2014 Walk So Kids Can Talk in support of Kids Help Phone. This was the fourth year Peterborough hosted a walk site, and walkers raised about $15,000. The event saw representation from several organizations and individuals in the community, such as BMO, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation and Team 55 Tackles Suicide Awareness. Counsellors at Kids Help Phone are there for youth 24/7/365, when they feel like there is no one else they can turn to. Check out pictures below from this special walk. —photos & coverage by Beth McClelland

Peterborough's Avery Cantello was friends with Amanda Todd when she lived out in B.C., and has created this beautiful song—"Carnival Of Souls" (watch the video below)—as a tribute to Amanda and as a stand against bullying (Avery herself has been a victim of bullying). This Crestwood student's video is going viral and she has been profiled on CHEX Newswatch. You can buy the song on iTunes, and all proceeds go to Kids Help Phone. Also, check out the Facebook page Avery has started with others in honour of Amanda Todd called "Project Cinderella"—a page devoted to people standing up in solidarity against bullying.
