Awareness event for International Women’s Day

A peaceful march along Saskatoon’s Broadway Avenue on March 6 sought to bring awareness to missing Aboriginal women across Canada in honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, organized by students in a Native Studies class at the University of Saskatchewan. Afternoon events at the Oskayak gym featured entertainment by singer Becky Thomas, writer and activist Morningstar Mercredi, and poet Shelly Loeffler.
