Bruce County Museum – Honouring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

In honour of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre welcomed artists Destiny Roote, Melissa Comyn, and Jes Daneluk for a discussion on the opening of the art installation Buffalo Woman.

The installation, will be on display from May 1-31 and is both a tribute and a call to action, urging visitors to acknowledge the ongoing crisis, listen to the stories of those left behind, and stand in solidarity for change.

A special screening of CBC’s The Fifth Estate documentary ‘A Sister’s Promise‘ was also held on Friday, May 9th. The documentary investigates Sonya Cywink’s death, which has gone unsolved for three decades. Her sister Meggie has taken the search for the truth into her own hands – finding leads that police overlooked and trying to solve the mystery of Sonya’s death.
