What are you doing on October 4th?

Dear friends and SIS Supporters,

NWAC, Amnesty International Canada and Kairos Canada are pleased to
announce the 4th annual Sisters In Spirit Vigil. Each year, concerned
citizens and Aboriginal community members gather on October 4th at
Parliament Hill. We gather to honour our lost sisters and their families.
We gather to show we are a united front. We gather to shed light on a
crisis that affects every Canadian. We gather to pressure all levels of
government to act and ACT NOW!

We are proud to show our support and are committed to raising awareness
projects. This Vigil is one of the ways we can educate the public on the
issues, rally our supporters and also compel a government response. We
look forward to having you participate in our work first-hand. We know you
will find it a rewarding experience.

We invite you, your organization and your community to join with us in
solidarity on October 4th 2009. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! Forty cities hosted
their own event last year. Many have already contacted us to confirm their
participation again this year, thank you.

NWAC is also excited to announce two new partners to our SIS Vigil
Committee in Ottawa. The National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC)
and the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) have joined our dedicated
team. Together we are determined to have more vigils nationwide as well as
increased media coverage. We are looking to you to make our vision a
reality.

Attached is a Registration Form which we ask you to complete and return to
Laura at lflorez at nwac-hq.org or fax at 613.722.7687. If you have any
questions she can also be reached by telephone at 1.800.461.4043 ext 251.

We look forward to your involvement and participation!
Yours sincerely,

The SIS Vigil Committee
