This has led No More Silence to create a community owned database to document and investigate such deaths in collaboration with Families of Sisters in Spirit and the Native Youth Sexual Health Network. We continue to raise our voices in denouncing the racism and complicity of state institutions and we support the demand for a national public inquiry led by Indigenous grass roots women and supported by a United Nations Investigation into Missing & Murdered Indigenous women in Canada. According to research conducted by the Native Women Association of Canada (NWAC) under the Sisters In Spirit Program, over 600 Indigenous women have been murdered or gone missing, most of them over the last 30 years.<br><a href="http://womensmemorialmarch.wordpress.com/national/">http://womensmemorialmarch.wordpress.com/national/</a><br><br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#009d65"><b>The Green Majority</b></font><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Toronto's Environmental Radio Show</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Weekly, Fridays, 11 - noon EST</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Listen live or catch the podcasts</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://greenmajority.ca/">http://greenmajority.ca/</a></span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><br><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#0084c8"><b>ChocoSol - Artisanal Chocolate Workshop</b></font><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Friday, February 14 (Valentine’s Day), 6:30 p.m.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1131 St. Clair West</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Our two hour artisanal chocolate workshops provide interactive bean-to-bar chocolate education (including discussions on the history and cultural teachings of cacao, chocolate making techniques, horizontal trade and forest garden permaculture), hands-on ingredient preparation, chocolate tastings, and the opportunity to purchase ChocoSol products.<br>$25 per person (cash please).
