Sisters in Spirit Vigil honours missing and murdered Indigenous women

Sault Ste. Marie and surrounding area residents are invited to honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people during a vigil taking place tomorrow evening.

The Sisters in Spirit Vigil, led by Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC), is a national event observed in several communities from coast to coast.  

Locally, the vigil, led by the Indigenous Women’s Anti-Violence Task Force (IWAVTF) in collaboration with the Bawaating Anishinabekwewok and the Nimkii-Naabkawagan Family Crisis Shelter, will take place at 6 p.m. at the west side of the SSM boardwalk. 

The event will consist of a Semaa ceremony, drum songs, prayer and a candlelight vigil.
