To raise awareness about the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada, Humanist Ottawa, Center For Inquiry Ottawa, and the Global Justice Working Group of the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa hosted a screening of the 2015 documentary “Highway of Tears” on Tuesday October 2nd 7:30 pm at the First Unitarian Church in Westboro. A couple of Humanist Ottawa members served refreshments from the kitchen to a full house before the showing of the documentary, and there was some very good discussion afterwards, including comments from people directly affected by the issue. We also raised a decent sum to donate to the youth at risk “Wasa Nawin” program at the Odawa Friendship Center. Thanks to all who attended and made the event possible.
