Candlelight Vigil for Jade Elk

The mother of one of the victims of last week’s double homicide in Saanich has planned a candlelit vigil to honour her daughter.

Jade was a mother of two, and the daughter of Dakota Sioux Elder, Judy Elk.

The vigil will be held no matter what the weather has in store, so the organizers recommend dressing for the weather and they ask that you bring your own candle.

Judy Elk encourages friends of her daughter’s to share their precious memories and photos online and at the ceremony in Rutledge Park.
