Saskatoon family’s pursuit to find Megan Gallagher never stops, sister to embark on 10-month walk

Lindsey Bishop will set out on a 10-month walk across Canada to help raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, including her sister Megan Gallagher.

The Gallagher family’s search for Megan Gallagher never wains.

The 30-year-old was last seen in September 2020 in Saskatoon. Her sister Lindsey Bishop is embarking on a walk for hope across Canada to help raise awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) in addition to hopefully bringing Meghan home.

The family has held numerous other rallies and walks to help start the conversation on those with missing family members and for them to share their stories for a semblance of healing.

“I think bringing awareness across the country is a good first step in getting the conversation started and all the hurt going on in Canada … where we find ourselves at right now,” said Bishop.

The ten-month walk will begin in Victoria, B.C., on Feb. 18 and conclude in St. John’s, N.L.

Brian Gallagher, Lindsey and Megan’s father, says he could not be prouder of his daughter for her efforts and the journey she set to take on.

He hopes this can lead to a change, so no other families have to go through what his family has.

“The importance of this, the awareness of missing and murdered of Indigenous women can’t be misunderstood and I think this is the bravest thing I’ve seen anyone do.”
