Next week: Bridge opening ceremony and fire (Nov. 3)

[Wendy Philpott]

Bridge: Honouring the Lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit People has become an annual installation since 2016 for 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence at the University of Waterloo.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the Bridge installation Opening Ceremony and Fire on Wednesday, November 3 at 1:00 pm at the bridge between Environment 3 and St. Paul's University College.

The closing ceremony will be held on Friday, November 19 at 1:00 pm.

Working with Shatitsirótha’: the Waterloo Indigenous Student Centre (WISC) Dr. Sorouja Moll<https://uwaterloo.ca/communication-arts/people-profiles/sorouja-moll> initiated Bridge in 2016 to create a space for all University community members to learn about the crisis as they reflect upon their responsibilities, write a name on red fabric, and tie it to the bridge between Environment 3 and St. Paul's University College. This year we are including orange fabric with the red in remembrance of the lives of the children and youth who perished at the hands of institutional violence at residential schools. These local, regional, and national atrocities are profoundly and systemically interconnected.
