Every Tuesday morning, the small First Nation community on Cape Breton Island hosts a Women\u2019s Walk along the trails adjacent to the Potlotek Health Centre. Beyond the obvious physical benefits, the walk\u2019s purpose is to bring people together, fostering a sense of community in a place where isolation and loneliness are more common than many might expect. \u201cIt\u2019s just a group where we all can get together and just enjoy each other\u2019s company,\u201d local resident Mirabel Nicholas said. \u201cBut if there is an issue, we get to talk about it.\u201d And there are issues.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/theturtleislandnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/facebooklogo.jpg","thumbnail_width":725,"thumbnail_height":483}
