    Keith Cormier says this movement started in Northern B.C more than a decade ago by a young mother, Raven LeCerte was moose hunting with her father along what’s known now as the Highway of Tears.

    The Men’s fellowship Circle in Corner Brook is pleased to be part of a National movement to raise awareness about murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls. Ernest Green and Keith Cormier spoke about the Moose Hide Campaign on Qalipu today. Cormier says this movement started in Northern B.C more than a decade ago by a young mother, Raven LeCerte was moose hunting with her father along what’s known now as the Highway of Tears. Cormier says Qalipu First Nations are happy the movement has reached here. He says the group has handed out 5 million moose hide pins.  Yesterday, Qalipu First Nations held an event at the Majestic Lawn in honour of the movement.
