Hundreds sang, chanted and drummed from city hall to Galt Gardens Wednesday evening for the 17th annual Sisters in Spirit Vigil and Memorial March.
Their voices carried through the streets of downtown, with calls to address missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit peoples.
“She never got justice so I go around and advocate in her honour and I make sure that children are aware of their surroundings,” she said. “I think it's vital for them to be cared for and their well-being because they’re our next generations to come.” “To me, it really means a lot as someone who has been sexually assaulted and to be a victim to someone getting lost in my family,” said Lenn Crowshoe, who spoke at the vigil and is Jr. Miss Piikani Princess. “Watching everyone else enjoy my speech and just them being here, I couldn't ask for more.”
