Saskatoon vigil mirrors La Loche funeral for Marie Janvier
As the community of La Loche laid Marie Janvier to rest, a group of people gathered in Saskatoon’s Victoria Park for a vigil Saturday.
Two dozen people, with candles in hand, gathered in a circle along the riverfront to say prayers, offer words of comfort and share hugs.
Organizer Hanah Molloy wanted to show support for her friend Sarah, who is also the sister of Janvier.
“I really did want to be up there with her, and to show support I thought bringing people here in the city together would be the best way to do that,” Molloy said.
