Feb 14, 2025

The yearly Valentine’s walk is in its 18th year.

THUNDER BAY — Ensuring that memories of loved ones aren’t forgotten and providing support to their surviving families and friends are two core themes of an annual walk held in Thunder Bay.

The 18th Valentine’s Day walk for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People was held on a cold Thursday evening in Thunder Bay. About 25 walkers and supporters gathered at The Bannock Lady restaurant at Intercity Shopping Centre for a sombre opening ceremony, prayer and remarks before the walk to a sacred fire at the Neebing-McIntyre Floodway.

The frozen floodway is where the body of Sandra Kaye Johnson was found on Feb. 13, 1992. Her killing has yet to be solved. Sandra’s sister Sharon Johnson started the commemorative walk 18 years ago and has been a longtime advocate for the Missing and Murdered, and their families.
