Sisters in Spirit Virtual Vigil, October 4, 2020
October 4 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
October 4th is a day when we honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people, support grieving families, and create opportunities for healing. The violence experienced by Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people in Canada is a national tragedy. United, we will demand action on an issue that impacts us all!
In light of COVID-19, this year NWAC will hold a livestreaming Virtual Vigil on October 4, at 2pm. The webcast will be streamed from our Facebook page:
