An event to celebrate and commemorate missing and murdered Indigenous people will be held in the tri-community this week. The event is open to all and will include a sacred fire in the Kinsmen Park, some entertainment and snacks.
“KB Memorial in partnership with MKO MMIWG Liaison Unit is hosting a Celebrate and Commemorate Vigil on May 5, for family and friends to respectfully celebrate and remember the lives of their missing and murdered loved ones around the sacred fire,” said Gloria Ballantyne-Packo. “It will be a candlelight vigil and we will provide the candles and red glow sticks for children.”
