Art work remembering murdered and missing Aboriginal women goes on display at Espanola High School this week. The display is called “Shades of Our Sisters”. On a regional basis, the work will honour two Indigenous women who were murdered. They are Sonya Cywink from the Whitefish River First Nation and Patricia Carpenter from Alderville in Southern Ontario. The exhibit opens to the public this Friday evening and can also be seen all day Saturday. And in an effort to reach a wider audience, students from Manitoulin Secondary will be bussed in on Friday to see the exhibit.
