🟥 Speak Their Names: We Remember. We Honour. 🟥

On May 3, 2026, we come together as a community to honour and remember our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Men and Boys.

This day is about more than remembrance—it is about love, truth, and standing together. Every life is sacred. Every name carries a story that deserves to be spoken, heard, and held with care.

Join us from 2:00pm–5:00pm at the Gathering Building (1126 Geewadin Rd, Wasauksing) for an afternoon of connection, reflection, and community.

🟥 What to expect:
• Drum groups and dancers
• Community connection and support
• Information booths
• Children’s activities
• Giveaways and remembrance activities

🟥 MMIWGM Memorial Photo Wall
We invite families, friends, and community members to bring a 5x7 photo to honour loved ones on our memorial wall.
If you are unable to attend, photos can be emailed in advance to:

wshteamsupport@wasauksing.ca

(Please submit by April 24, 2026 at 4:30pm)

This is a space to gather in a good way—to grieve, to honour, and to uplift one another.

🟥 Wear red. Speak their names. Share their stories.
