October 4th 2018 Sisters In Spirit Vigil
October 4th is a day when we honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and gender diverse people, as well as support families and create opportunities for healing. The lives of Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people in Canada are important, valuable, and beautiful. We are currently in the midst of a national epidemic of violence that is unacceptable. United, we demand action on an issue that impacts us all!
