PRINCE GEORGE – The BC Assembly of First Nations will be meeting, virtually, with the family members of women who have gone missing or have been murdered.
It comes after the National Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, which has produced 231 Calls for Justice.
“Well, really, to come back to the families and organizations to get a perspective from BC about what’s important from the 231 Calls for Justice,” explains Regional Chief for the Assembly of First Nations Terry Teegee. “To get a strategic and, perhaps, a BC point of view on what we should move on.”
Brenda Wilson is the sister of Ramona Wilson, one of the girls who went missing along Highway 16 at Smithers. She says the Assembly needs to take into consideration all families in BC.
“There are many little places out along Highway 16 and in BC,” she says. “And they’ve seen their share of murdered loved ones. So they have to ensure they reach out to those areas.”
The expectation is that the result of this latest round of discussions will be made public.
