The rally was called after the arrest of Shawn Cameron Lamb, 52, charged with three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Tanya Nepinak, Carolyn Sinclair and Lorna Blacksmith.
The march will start at 6 p.m. from Young Street and Broadway to the Manitoba Legislature. Manitoba chiefs and other leaders will address the media and the crowd at 7 p.m. A vigil will be held from 8 p.m until 9 p.m.
Many have long suspected the disappearances and deaths of a number of aboriginal women in Winnipeg was the work of a serial killer.
