More than one hundred walkers showed up in Saskatoon on Saturday to raise awareness for domestic abuse and homicide in the city.
The route saw walkers with signs in hand escorted by police take a non-direct route from Howard Coad school to Saskatoon Police Service headquarters in downtown.
Among the walkers, there were a number of families whose lives had been forever altered by domestic abuse, including Andrea Naytowhow who lost her Niece, Melissa, to domestic homicide last fall.
"Today we're here to break the silence, and stop the violence in the community," said Naytowhow.
Co-organizer Cathleen Balon lost her daughter, Nykera, in 2022. Many among the crowd had similar stories of violence within their families and communities.
"No more victim blaming, these women can’t get away, they have nowhere to go. So its time that they have a place to go. All the shelters are full, what's a piece of paper going to do," said Balon.
Among the marchers was Saskatoon police chief Cam McBride.
