A vigil on Parliament Hill Tuesday called for more action into the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people (MMIWG2S+).

Bridget Tolley, Families of Sisters in Spirit founder, led the event to mark the national day of awareness, or “Red Dress Day,” after the work of Métis artist Jaime Black. 

“We as families, we want action,” Tolley, who is from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg, told attendees.
