This weekend saw the third walk of support and awareness for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, in support of Ashley Morin’s family and friends.
The family of Megan Gallagher also took part in the walk that began Friday, July 9 at 9 a.m. in front of the Saskatoon Police Service headquarters building at 76 25th Street East.
Throughout the weekend, the walkers travelled Highway 16, arriving Sunday in North Battleford.
According to police, Ashley Morin was last seen July 10, 2018 in North Battleford. Megan Gallagher was last seen Sept. 20, 2020 on video at a business in the 3700 block of Diefenbaker Drive.
Krista Fox, who is the Morin family’s spokesperson, said the family is thankful for the support shown by everyone — from the Elders, Tribal Chiefs, and friends of both Ashley and Meghan.
“Thank you for taking the time and be able to join us today. Imagine, as a parent of a cousin, as a sister, waking up each morning, not knowing where your loved one was. I heard someone said it yesterday, ‘Ashley’s not missing. She was taken.’ She was taken from all of these. Taken from her family and friends. She was taken from us. We are not going to give up until we bring her home.”
Saturday, July 10, is the third anniversary of Ashley Morin’s disappearance.
