The Sisters in Spirit Vigil is a national Event held annually on October 4, to honor Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Gender Diverse People.
First Light Aboriginal Family Centre in St. John’s in collaboration with community partners are creating a space for all families, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous to come together to honor our loved ones.
You may call the First Light Friendship Centre at 1-709-726-5902. You can check it out and be prepared for next year’s event.
The Nain DHSD is also asking residents to show your support by lighting a candle in your window as a reminder that our sisters will not be forgotten.
Please submit your name to win a $100 food voucher from Frank’s by adding a picture of your lit candle in memory of your MMIWG loved one.
The draw will be done tomorrow Thursday, October 5.
