October 4 is known as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirited Honouring and Awareness Day. The Pas Family Resource Center held a MMIWG2S Day of Honouring and Learning at the Metis Hall Clubroom.
“We’ve been holding MMIWG2S events on October 4 for quite some time now, however this is the first time we did a day of honouring, remembering, education and awareness,” said The Pas Family Resource Center Executive Director Renee Kastrukoff. “Part of the event was to bring more awareness and education surrounding MMIWG2S. Everyone wants this to stop and cases to be solved. This was the first time we had facilitators and presenters coming in to provide the education and awareness piece.”
