*February 14th, 10th Annual Strawberry Ceremony for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Trans and Two Spirit People and those who have died Violent Deaths



 WHAT: Gathering at Toronto Police Headquarters


WHEN: Saturday Feb 14th at 12:30 pm

WHERE: 50 College Street


Since we gathered last year on this date, there has been unprecedented media and public attention on missing and murdered Indigenous women.
However the violence continues and Indigenous women are still going missing, facing violence, and being murdered.
This is our 10th annual Strawberry Ceremony and it has been 2 years since the stories of three Indigenous women who passed away under violent and suspicious circumstances in Toronto have become known.


*Cheyenne Fox* was 20 and a mother when she fell from the 24th floor of a condo in April 2013.

*Terra Gardner* was killed by a train only a few weeks later and *Bella Laboucan-McLean* fell from the 31st floor of a downtown condo in July of the same year.

We honour these women and seek justice for the many women, Two-Spirit people and their families and communities whose stories have not been in the media.

We stand behind the families who advocate for justice in all its forms.
