W2 Morning Radio Project: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Girls and Women in Canada

Angela MacDougall will be cohosting the W2 Morning Radio Project this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. The program is broadcast on 102.7FM, from 7-8am, every weekday.

Angela has prepared a special report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Girls and Women in Canada, and the program is produced by W2, in association with Rabble.ca. Angela works as the Executive Director of Battered Women's Support Services in Vancouver. The special radio report follows calls for a national inquiry, and a reactionary Winnipeg Sun editorial blaming Indigenous Peoples for this national emergency.
