Vigil held at Dawson for MMIWGT2S

The First People鈥檚 Centre organized a vigil in the Oliver鈥檚 student space at Dawson on Feb. 14 to commemorate the MMIWGT2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Trans and Two-Spirited.) There is an epidemic of violence against Indigenous women in Canada. The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls 听that Indigenous women and girls make up 24 per cent of female homicide victims in Canada, despite only making up four per cent of the country鈥檚 female population.

The report cited research that 鈥淚ndigenous women and girls are 12 times more likely to be murdered or missing than any other women in Canada, and 16 times more likely than Caucasian women. 鈥� Other than murder, statistics also reveal how Indigenous women consistently experience higher rates and more severe forms of physical assault and robbery than other groups in Canada. Sexual violence is a huge problem in all its forms: Indigenous women are sexually assaulted three times more often than non-Indigenous women, and most of the women and children trafficked in Canada are Indigenous.鈥�

Flood update from FAMA

After the flooding at Dawson on February 4, images were shared on social media depicting water with a greenish or grey colour.听 This colour comes from an eco-friendly colorant that allows maintenance teams to detect leaks and the liquid was non-toxic.

The water was all cleaned up on the same Saturday and a combination of blowers and dehumidifiers were installed right away, which prevented opportunities for mold to grow.

The Facilities Management team is working with the restoration company, First on Site.

After assessment, which includes humidity and air quality readings, four teaching spaces and two teachers鈥� offices along with some walls along various hallways require further remediation due to water which infiltrated the walls but is now removed. At this time, there are no environmental issues related to the flood. The rooms are expected to be back in use in about a week
