Unity Walk promotes diversity within the Valley BY TIM J. RANDALL
In the spirit of Chandler’s annual January-themed Celebration of Unity, residents are invited to participate in the 2017 Regional Unity Walk set for 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28, at Tempe Town Lake. “This is a walk for unity in the community, and mutual respect and understanding,” said Niki Tapia, community resource coordinator, City of Chandler Diversity Office. It was created out of quarterly regional Human Relations Committee (HRC) gatherings between neighboring Valley cities. “This event is inspiring and joyful,” said Cynthia Hardy, an HRC member, and commissioner and chairwoman of the Chandler Celebration of Unity and MLK Multicultural Festival. “It promotes that our communities can work together with one another in our
pursuit for equality and inclusiveness.” Participants from Chandler, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Gilbert will assemble at Tempe Lake Marina, while residents of Tempe, Guadalupe and Mesa will gather at Tempe Beach Park Amphitheater. “Each city has its own different colored T-shirt,” Tapia said. “Chandler’s T-shirt is a forest green color.” Walkers will begin a 1-mile hike to the central finishing location at Tempe Beach Park. “At the end, there is music and speakers and time for all of the people from all of the cities to mingle and talk to each other,” Tapia said. The walk, which began in 2008, is expected to draw more than 100 walkers from Chandler, according to Tapia. Walkers should report to their respective starting positions at 5:45 p.m. to receive

Valley of the Sun opened its mortuary in the early 1990s, and a new mortuary was built and opened in 2004. Valley of the Sun is also known as the site of the state’s largest sundial, which has served as a landmark for the local airport and a point of reference for locating the cemetery.
