MHGYWC 2016/17 AGM Agenda

The first women’s memorial march was held in 1991 in response to the murder of a Coast Salish woman on Powell Street in Vancouver. Her name is not spoken today out of respect for the wishes of her family. Out of this sense of hopelessness and anger came an annual march on Valentine’s Day to express compassion, community, and caring for all women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Unceded Coast Salish Territories.

On Sunday February 12th, 2017 the community will gather to remember and honour Indigenous women, girls, and 2spirit people who have gone missing and been murdered. Let us walk together as a community to say Indigenous women's, 2spirits', and girls' lives are sacred. Let us remember our teachings and honour those who have been taken from us. We would like to acknowledge that this march takes place on unceded and traditional territories of the Lekwungen communities, Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations.
