Over 50 people braved the cold to take part in the fifth Annual Women’s Memorial March.
Members of the public walked from the Court House to the Prince George Native Friendship Centre in memory of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG).
“Everybody understand the challenges that we have moving forward, especially with Highway 16, the Highway of Tears. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done to ensure the safety of our women and girls.”
– BC Federation of Students Ken Solonas
Solonas hopes this event shows the need for more to be done when it comes to strengthening our policies and laws to help the indigenous community.
