ST. PAUL - The Mannawanis Native Friendship Centre (MNFC) held a red ribbon ceremony to honour National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and two-spirit People (MMIWG2S) on May 5 at Lions Park, located on St. Paul's main street.

Attendees were invited to write the name of a loved one who had passed away on a red ribbon, then tying it to a teepee. The red ribbons symbolize an individual's commitment to stop violence, and acts as a form of remembrance, honouring those who have been lost.
