The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Liaison Unit with MKO is looking to build a commemorative monument in the city.

 

Executive Director Heidi Spence told mayor and council at Monday night’s Committee of the Whole meeting that the potential site for the monument would on the hill by the Miles Hart Bridge.

 

She elaborated that the team chose the area because it’s often used as a gathering place during events pertaining to MMIWG issues.

 

Spence says they’re hoping to place the monument once the weather warms up and are currently aiming at April.

 

The monument project is being funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada.

 

The design of the monument and the presentation as a whole can be found in Monday’s Committee of the Whole agenda at thompson.ca.
