Take Back the Night 2026 talks safety in community

Date:

The third annual Take Back the Night took place advocating for safety for all in the City of Selkirk last weekend. The event started with a welcome from staff of Survivor’s Hope before Elder Carol Stettinger gave an inciteful teaching about the contents and significants of water bundles and water as the first medicine. From there, the group of advocates walked to the water tower where Selkirk Mayor Larry Johannson and Lorie Fiddler, representing the Selkirk Friendship Centre, took time to talk about the importance of safety for all and steps that are being taken to help keep people safe. The group then walked to the river and offered the water bundle as well as water which been carried during the walk to the river.
