Here are 5 things to do in and around Victoria this Tuesday, October 25th:
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 Elk was identified as one of the victims of the stabbing that took place on Wednesday, October 19th.
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.
