Manitobans joined supporters across the country to call on the provincial and federal governments to search the Prairie Road and Brady Green landfills for the remains of two Indigenous women Monday afternoon.

Several hundred supporters chanted “search the landfill” on the steps of the Legislative Building at noon, joining over a dozen cities holding rallies Canada-wide, including one at Parliament Hill. The day was organized by the families of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran, who police believe were dumped at the Prairie Green Landfill after being killed.

Organizers are also calling for the search of another unidentified woman, named Buffalo Woman by Indigenous leadership, believed to be in the Brady Road Landfill.

Neither government has committed to funding a search of either landfill.
