The head of the Native Women’s Association of Canada says it’s clear there's an ongoing emergency nearly four years after the final report into missing and murdered Indigenous woman and girls was released.

The motion was tabled by Leah Gazan, NDP critic for women and gender equity, and arrived just before Red Dress Day on May 5.

Calls from the daughters of a slain Indigenous woman to bring her remains home from a landfill that police in Winnipeg won't search turned into a rallying cry on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, to end the violence against their women and girls.

Carol McBride, the president of the Native Women’s Association of Canada, called on municipalities and provinces to develop their own action plan to solve the MMIWG2S crisis.

In June, NWAC gave the federal government a failing grade in its report card of the federal government’s National Action Plan on MMIWG2S.

The former chief of Timiskaming First Nation brings a long history of grassroots activism and advocacy for Indigenous peoples.
