About 80 people showed up to walk in honour of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG).
The walk, which took place between the Sorting Gap Marina and the Bayview Motel, is part of the Red Ribbon Campaign created by Grand Council Treaty #3. This campaign was launched on Jan. 25 and organizers are hoping to make the walk be an annual event that coincides with International Women’s Day.
Cassandra Yerxa, MMIWG Worker at Grand Council Treaty #3, said the campaign and the walk itself was started to initiate the conversation regarding Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
