Families and friends continue to search for the girls, and are holding a candlelight vigil in their honour on Monday evening in Kitigan Zibi.
Shannon and Maisy are two of nearly 600 missing or murdered aboriginal women and girls in Canada, according to the Native Women’s Association of Canada.
On Oct. 4, candlelight vigils will be held across the country to commemorate the lives of the missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls, and to highlight the violence carried out against them.
