SASKATOON – A symbol aimed at drawing attention to the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women has reached Saskatoon. Red ribbons were seen tied to a bridge in the city Tuesday.
The phenomenon originated with a group of women from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation in Manitoba. The movement has since spread to Winnipeg, Regina and Calgary.
