Vigils for missing and murdered Aboriginal women

Missing and murdered aboriginal women are being remembered this week as part of Sisters in Spirit week. Vigils are scheduled in all four Atlantic provinces.

The Native Women’s Association says the number of vigils grew from only 11 a decade ago to 216 in 2014. In New Brunswick, all six Maliseet communities are participating in the awareness week.
