On September 12th, 2023, a prayer walk and vigil were held in Sault Ste. Marie to support the search for Indigenous women in a Winnipeg landfill and to honour local missing and murdered women.

The Brady landfill blockade in Winnipeg was dismantled, but families and supporters continue advocating for a search of the Prairie Green landfill for missing Indigenous women’s remains.

On January 15, 2023, protesters hung 101 red dresses outside the Brady Road landfill in Winnipeg to honour MMIWG and call for a search for human remains.

The Lil’ Red Dress Project was founded by Carla Maxmuwidzumga Voyageur and Aaabawasige Jeannine Lindsay of the Comox Valley. The project has a team of volunteers who create beaded “red dress” pins and earrings to bring awareness to MMIWG. The proceeds from sales go towards the costs of creating and installing missing person/educational signage on Vancouver Island.
