The first women’s memorial march was held in 1991 in response to the murder of a Coast Salish woman on Powell Street in Vancouver. Her name is not spoken today out of respect for the wishes of her family. Out of this sense of hopelessness and anger came an annual march on Valentine’s Day to express compassion, community, and caring for all women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Unceded Coast Salish Territories. Twenty one years later, the women’s memorial march continues to honour the lives of missing and murdered women.

The tenants lived at 2131 Pandora St. in East Vancouver, a building owned and operated by the Sahota family who also own the Cobalt and Astoria hotels. The building flooded in October 2007 and the tenants were permanently evacuated after the City of Vancouver ordered it closed.
