The Tears to Hope Society is organizing their annual memorial march for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit, transgender and gender-diverse peoples in Terrace on Feb. 14. It is open to the public.

“Feb 14 is a special day for the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls, and think it’s important that people get out and acknowledge that they are going missing or being murdered, many of them unsolved murders, particularly up here on the Highway of Tears,” said Gladys Radek, a Witset elder with the Tears to Hope Society.

The 34th annual march will begin at 10:45 a.m. from the Highway of Tears memorial totem pole on Kitsumkalum territory, west of Terrace.
