Monday is International Red Dress Day, bringing awareness to missing Indigenous people.
McLeod Lake First Nation will be holding a roughly 140 kilometre walk starting in McLeod Lake, then south to Prince George.
McLeod Lake First Nation Band member and Organizer, Roberta Mitchell said the walk is for a missing person from their community.
“Alice Chingee has been missing for upcoming a year, and there’s no sign whatsoever of anything.”
“We’re still looking, and we want to bring awareness and get people to help.”
Mitchell added the walk could take roughly three days, and plan on camping during that time.
Those wanting to take part are able to contact the McLeod Lake Band Office.
Donations are also being taken for Alice Chingee’s family at the McLeod Lake General Store.
