On Oct. 4, people across Canada took part in Sisters in Spirit vigils honouring missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
That same day, the mother of a Chilliwack woman whose body was found more than four months after she went missing asked for the community’s help to bring awareness to a proposed missing adult alert.
Alina Durham, mother of Shaelene Keeler Bell, is urging people to write to Canada’s Governor General Mary Simon asking for a bill to be passed to help create Shaelene’s Missing Adult Alert in honour of her daughter.
Bell, a 23-year-old mother of Chilliwack, went missing on Jan. 30, 2021. Her body was found on June 2, 2021 in the Fraser River near Coquitlam.
