Sisters in Spirit Day

Sisters in Spirit Day, October 4, is a day to honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people, support grieving families and loved ones, and create opportunities for healing. Vigils and community events are organized and held across Canada, often including a ceremony and walk-in commemoration.

Community Vigils and Events

If you are interested in hosting a community vigil or event, register to receive a Vigil Kit (Balloons, flags and pins) by emailing workshops@nwac.ca with the name of your organization/community/group and your mailing address.
