On February 14, 2026, communities across the country gathered for the 35th Annual Women’s Memorial March (WMM). The march honours the lives of grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, as well as Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ people. 

The first Women’s March took place in 1992 following the tragic murder of Cheryl Ann Joe (shíshálh Nation). Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, and LGBTQIA+ people continue to face disproportionately high rates of violence, disappearance, and murder. Each year, we come together to commemorate those who are missing or have been killed, to stand with survivors, and to call for an end to gender- and race-based violence. 

Lyackson Mustimuhw were proud to join in the WMM as we continue to honour the work of our Ancestors, and build a safe future for generations to come.
