Today marks four years since the publication of the final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement this morning to honour those who have died as well as those who are and have been affected.
He said, “On this day, we honour those who lost their lives, those who continue to experience violence, and the survivors and their families who bravely stepped forward to share their truths. Today, we also recommit ourselves to continue taking action to end violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people.”

Those affected by the tragedy who require emotional assistance, can call 1-844-413-6649. They can also access mental health support services such as mental health counselling, community-based emotional support and cultural services, and assistance with travel costs to see Elders and traditional healers away from home.
