‘We are here for them’: Red Dress Day observed in La Ronge
Red Dress Day was observed in La Ronge on Friday with an honour walk, in remembrance of the approximately 5,000 missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada.
The honour walk began at 11 a.m. at the Lac La Ronge Indian Band office and proceeded along La Ronge Avenue to the urban reserve. Once there, a prayer was held, several speeches were made and lunch was served.
One of the speakers was local cultural support worker Abby McIntyre, who explained their prayers were for healing, safety and justice for all Indigenous women, families and communities.
