Strong show of support at Ashley Morin vigil
Despite frigid temperatures and a wind chill making it feel more like -24C, the community came together Friday night for a candlelight vigil at North Battleford Library Park to raise awareness for missing woman Ashley Morin.
Morin’s sister Janine said during the vigil that not a day that goes by that she won’t stop looking for Ashley, or ever give up.
“She is and always will be my baby sister,” Janine said, with tears in her eyes. “A light like yours can’t go out. Even though I can’t see you when I look up at the twinkling stars, I know you are still shining somewhere out there.”
Among some of the speakers during the vigil were former city councillor Ray Fox, North Battleford Coun. Kent Lindgren, and a representative from Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. A drum group performed at the event, which was followed by a round dance.
