The Town of The Pas held a regular council meeting on July 19. During the council meeting, Town of The Pay Mayor Andre Murphy gave a report about the MMIWG2S+ roundtable that he and Councillor Atkinson participated in the week prior, in Winnipeg. The Pas was the only municipality in Manitoba to have their mayor present, after all mayors were invited to the event.
“It was an unbelievable event for me personally to learn,” said Town of The Pas Mayor Andre Murphy. “It was very sad, painful to hear of the loss that has impacted families and friends of MMIWG2S+. When I heard the families speak about the journey they are on and how they’re trying to make things better, I could feel the support in the room from all the allies present and I was thankful to be a part of that.
