Community Engagement Session to be held Feb. 21
The government of Alberta is working to enhance services to families of murdered and missing Aboriginal women. We need your input.

You can assist by telling us what helps, what doesn’t help, and what is needed when a loved one goes missing or murdered. Collectively we can identify and address service delivery gaps for families of missing and murdered women who are victims of crime.
We hope to create resource materials to assist victims and their families, and ensure there is a culturally sensitive response. Please join us:
