I will be attending a memorial for 18 year old Jessica Patrick Balczer. A young mom, a proud member of the Babine First Nation. Our entire community grieves at the loss of another bright, young soul.

Pls visit the page below & offer what you can.

It has been one year since the #MMIWG inquiry held public hearings here in Smithers. Today the grief of another loss of a young woman is weighing heavy. Yesterday was the funeral for 18 year old Jessica Patrick.

RCMP formally apologizes to families of missing & murdered #Indigenous women & girls. #MMIWG

"I'm sorry that for too many of you, the RCMP was not the police service you needed it to be during this terrible time in your life.

@clairetrevena Full schedule of the new BC Bus North service here https://t.co/W976easAsf

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

BCgov is creating a new interim northern bus service called "BC Bus North" to run long-haul travel on June 4, shortly after Greyhound shuts operations. Service would go along highway of tears and to other locations roughly twice a week.
One-way fares of $35-$45.

Limited schedule, but this is better than no bus service at all. Important along the @highwayoftears, where women have disappeared while hitchhiking. #Missing #MMIW https://t.co/NlsN8skN6Z

[ChantelleBellrichard @pieglue]

After the last public speaker at the #MMIWG community hearing in Vancouver women took to the floor to sing the women's warrior song. Closing ceremony to begin shortly.
