NEVER FORGOTTEN

You are cordially invited to attend a ceremony honouring the many missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls of Manitoba.

All are welcome to the Manitoba Legislature: The Rotunda, 450 Broadway 
on Tuesday, December 21 from 10:30 am to 11:30 am.

Family and community members are asked to bring ornaments and to hang them on a special Christmas tree on display in the Legislature’s Rotunda to commemorate the spirit and strength of their missing and murdered loved ones.

Refreshments will be provided, alongside the playing of Traditional Honour Drum Songs.

A special advertisement will be published in the December 21 edition of the Winnipeg Free Press in concurrence with the morning’s honouring ceremony. 
Versions of this advertisement will be on display in the Rotunda, with poster-sized copies to be given to family and community members.
