Families, supporters hope to put pressure on provincial, federal governments to search for women

The families of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran hope their calls to search a landfill for the remains of their loved ones will be heard across the country.

People in at least 17 cities, including Ottawa, will rally on Monday as part of a day of action organized by Harris’s and Myran’s families.

“People are not trash,” said Long Plain First Nation Chief Kyra Wilson, who will hold a news conference in Ottawa on Monday with the families and Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Cathy Merrick.

“We need to make sure that we’re continuing that momentum and people know the importance of everyone coming together to make sure that we can bring these women home,” she said.
