CHILLIWACK — Residents are invited to take part in a fundraising walk to restore a beloved mural defaced on the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
“Inez is a Stó꞉lō woman, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a cousin, and an auntie. She is loved,” wrote Amber Price in an earlier GoFundMe to repair the damage.
“It is a representation of Stó꞉lō and Indigenous women in this community, and beyond. Defacing it was a hurtful statement seemingly directed at Indigenous women, and we won’t let that pass without it being named.”
Police are now trying to find out who was responsible for the act, but in the meantime, the community is hoping to pursue all avenues to get its vibrant art back.
