Candle light vigil shows support for La Loche

 

Thompson residents are mourning with the community of La Loche, Saskatchewan.

 

On Monday night a candle light vigil was held at the the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre.

 

Elder Jack Robinson says it’s to show the people of La Loche that we care:

"We usually do that, the aboriginal people. Especially with where it happened, in Saskatchewan in La Loche; that’s a Dene Nation and we also have Dene people here in Manitoba that come from Lac Brochet and Tadoule".

 

One person who attended the vigil has a brother-in-law in La Loche, and plans to let him know that the thoughts of Northern Manitobans are with the community.
