Calgary, Alberta – Tuesday, February 14 at 6:30 pm in the Scarboro United Church, 134 Scarboro Ave SW, the 15th Annual Valentine’s Day Memorial March for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit Peoples, will be held to honour the humanity of the thousands of Women, Girls and Two Spirit Peoples who have been so cruelly wrenched from their families. Dozens of victims' friends and family members will be in attendance, along with hundreds of other community members.

The march is part of a nation-wide movement to remember all women who have been murdered or who have disappeared. It is also meant to draw attention to the disproportionate numbers of Aboriginal women who are no longer with us.

The organizing committee welcomes everyone interested in honoring the women. Doors open at 6 pm, performances and speeches at 6:30pm, and the march itself departing at 7:30 p.m. We will also be offering pins from the Moose Hide Campaign to show our commitment as community members. Out of respect to the deceased women, organizations are asked to leave their banners at home. Red cut-outs and frames with the names of missing and murdered women will be carried to honour those women, their families, and their loved ones who are still looking for answers.
