This is an invitation to celebrate, honour and support Indigenous women, girls and their families on October 4th by attending or holding a Sisters in Spirit Vigil.
A Sisters in Spirit Vigil can take many forms – from a moment of silence to a rally to a community feast. All that is important is that you take some time on or around October 4th to mark the day.
Look for Sisters in Spirit vigils on-line at nwac.ca. The Native Women’s Association of Canada asks us to read the Public Statement, found on their website, to supporters at each vigil.
Several labour unions and the aboriginal community have combined their efforts to hold a Sisters in Spirit Vigil at 5:00-6:30 pm, at city hall in Vancouver. See our Facebook event for more details:

We demand a national inquiry into the violence faced by Indigenous women and girls. Please stand with us.
