Date: Tuesday, June 14
Time: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

"okîsikow" means "angel" in Cree. Okîsikow Way honours all women and gender diverse people who have experienced violence and those who continue to suffer. Edmonton became one of the first major cities in Canada to show support for the national movement, The Angel Street Project, by naming a street in downtown Edmonton “Okîsikow (Angel) Way” in 2011.
All are welcome to attend and support the development of safe places where support and shelter can be found.
