COLD LAKE - Red dresses were blowing in the breeze along Hwy. 28 as the community marked National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
On May 5, families and friends remembered their missing and murdered loved ones by standing with their photo and a red dress along the road from the Joe Heffner Park to the Cold Lake Native Friendship Centre.
Passersby honked their horns in support, with members of the First Nations and Métis Settlement, local Friendship Centre, City of Cold Lake, Cold Lake and District FCSS, and RCMP participating in the event organized by Gabrielle Whiskeyjack.
