October 4th is National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S+).

In September of 2016, National Inquiry into MIssing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls officially commenced. The inquiry, which took three years, included 24 hearings and engaged 2386 participants, who shared family or personal stories. The end result was a compilation of 231 Calls to Justice for MMIWG2S+

It is 2026 and only TWO have been brought to completion.

It is important to remember our relations that our communities have lost.

In the Round Room at 4D, we will have a Faceless Dolls Display and a copy of the 231 Calls available for viewing, until end of day October 5th.

There are also educational links in the link in our bio, as well as emotional support resources - how to book with our Counsellor, live chats and hotlines.

This week each year is an extra heavy week, do take good care. 4D is here for you!
