 The movement began in 2006 when Bridget Tolley asked that a vigil be held on the steps of Parliament Hill to honour her mother, Gladys, who was killed in 2001 in Maniwaki, Quebec and over 500 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada.NWAC worked with Tolley to organize the event on October 4, that had a turnout of over 100 people.The SIS vigils can take the form of rallies, community feasts or a moment of silence.
