The Issue

All it takes is your signature in support.

The crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit individuals (MMIWG2S+) in Canada has left an indelible mark on families and communities nationwide. With estimates exceeding 4,000 lives lost, the absence of meaningful action following inquiries into these tragedies has deepened the wounds of those left behind.​

We propose the establishment of a Living Monument—a community garden that embodies renewal and growth—to honor those voices we cannot lose: the lives tragically cut short by this national crisis. Unlike static memorials, this living tribute will serve as a space for reflection, healing, and community gathering, allowing the spirits of our lost sisters to nurture both the land and our collective resolve for justice.​

We call upon:
Toronto City Council
Ontario Monuments Builders Association
Premier Doug Ford
Prime Minister Mark Carney
to support and fully fund the creation of this Living Monument.​

Why a Living Monument?
Traditional monuments, while significant, often fail to encapsulate the ongoing nature of remembrance and healing. A community garden, ever-changing and growing, symbolizes the enduring presence and memory of MMIWG2S+ individuals. It provides a space for families and communities to connect, reflect, and find solace amidst the living beauty of nature.​


How You Can Help:
Your signature can make a difference. By supporting this petition, you advocate for a meaningful, living tribute that honours the lives lost and fosters community healing. Together, we can transform grief into growth and remembrance into action.​

Sign now to stand in solidarity and support the creation of a Living Monument for Canada's MMIWG2S+.
