October 4th is a day where we honour the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). The violence experienced by Indigenous women and girls in Canada is a national tragedy. Family members, Indigenous community members, and concerned citizens gather for a memorial march and vigil to honour their memory.
