This year marks the 9th annual Sisters In Spirit (SIS) vigils, which are held to raise awareness and demand action for missing and murdered First Nations, Inuit and Métis women and girls.
Each year, Sisters in Spirit Candlelight Vigils are held around Canada. The vigils show support for families and communities who have lost friends and family members and help to increase public awareness about the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Come join our Walk of Remembrance from the Clock Park to the Wolfville Farmers' Market at 12:20 pm.
Please note that the 5th annual SIS event community-campus event will be held on October 6th, since October 4th is a Saturday.
To raise awareness, organizers are collecting like-new and new shoes, as well as girls’ and teens dresses, to create an art installation on October 6th in the K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre, located on the Acadia University campus. This installation will represent more than 1182 missing aboriginal women and girls, and untold number of missing men, boys, and families across Canada.
The public is invited to drop off new or like-new shoes and girls’ new or like-new dresses at Welkaqnik, Aboriginal Gathering Space in the DeWolfe House located at 52 University Avenue, or to bring them directly to the KCIC on October 6th and place them within the exhibit in the foyer.
