Megan Gallagher

Monday is the second anniversary of Megan Gallagher’s disappearance.  Her father Brian Gallagher says she is missed every day. “She is thought of, she is loved and she has not been forgotten.”

To honour her and to bring awareness around the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People, Megan’s family has organized the second annual Megan’s Walk.  It begins Sunday morning at Joe Gallagher Field in the Gordie Howe Sports Complex.  There is a program at 10 and the walk begins at 10:15, and then walking to the amphitheatre at River Landing.

Megan’s family encourages everyone to wear red in support of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit Persons (MMIWG2S).  The theme of the walk is “the silence is killing us”.  Megan’s father Brian acknowledges that breaking the silence is working, because four people are facing charges of indignity to human remains as a direct result of people coming forward and breaking the silence.

The family is grateful for those who came forward, and hopes it continues because Megan’s body has never been found.
