In honour of murdered and missing Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people across Canada, the Sisters in Spirit Vigil will take to Stephen Avenue and Olympic Plaza on Tuesday.
It will be the 19th such vigil held in Calgary, bringing together Awo Taan Healing Lodge elders, board and staff; families of murdered and missing women, girls and two-spirit people; police services; advocates; community leaders; and anyone else who would like to take part.
There, families of murdered and missing women, girls and two-spirit people will speak, as will others, and there will be further drumming and singing. Tuesday's vigil is one of more than 300 expected to take place across Canada and internationally, as part of Sisters in Spirit Day.
