PHOTOS: Supporters march for hope in wake of violent assault
More than 80 people marched along Central Avenue in peaceful protest and prayer Friday afternoon against a violent assault that left a woman critically injured June 1 in Prince Albert.
Police found 47-year-old Marlene Bird in critical condition in a parking lot next to the Gateway Mall and the Margo Fournier Center Sunday afternoon.
“When I heard about Marlene and how bad she was hurt, I thought about how could no one hear her screaming? Somebody must have seen or heard,” said Wendy Mirasty, organizer of the march.
Mirasty would often see Bird walking downtown to go to school at the local campus of the First Nations University. She described Bird as humble and kind.
