‘Our babies are not safe:’ March in Winnipeg for Tina Fontaine’s family
WINNIPEG — Hundreds marched through the streets of Winnipeg a day after a jury acquitted a man accused of killing a 15-year-old Indigenous girl whose body, wrapped in a blanket and weighed down by rocks, was pulled from a river.
The three-block-long march in support of Tina Fontaine’s family began Friday in front of the courthouse and wound its way to the spot at the Red River where the teen’s body was found in August 2014.
Supporters carried signs reading No Justice No Peace, Justice for All and Love for Tina.
On Thursday, a jury found Raymond Cormier, 56, not guilty of second-degree murder.
