Treaty Three Police service is introducing a new vehicle decal in honour of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
The idea for the decal came from uniformed members of Treaty Three Police Service who wanted to start further discussions about MMIWG. The project was lead by T3PS Spirit of Hope Coordinator.
“The art piece was created in collaboration with the Grand Council Treaty #3 Women’s council, Elder Howard Copenace and MMIWG family member and advocate, Sharon Johnson. We’ve had several virtual meetings during the past few months. The designer for the graphic is a Couchiching band member, Fallon Andy who assisted us with bringing together the group’s final ideas. The group was very cooperative and honoured to assist with creating such a decal for T3PS,” says Smith.
