Lethbridge lends voice to issue of murdered, missing Indigenous women

Lethbridge city council is putting the issue of murdered and missing Indigenous women on the agenda for upcoming meetings of the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The city has also joined a growing list of municipalities pushing for a national inquiry. “We need to think of what we can do here,” said Mayor Chris Spearman. Council made its decision during a March meeting when University of Lethbridge student Lauren Crazybull made a presentation outlining the prevalence of violence Aboriginal women face.
