Solstice Speaker Series: MMIWG
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) has touched the lives of hundreds of families and communities across Saskatchewan and Canada. Many still bear the grief of their loss, and to the survivors whose lives are changed forever.

There will also be a first-hand account of the impact that this has had on one Saskatchewan family.
