Hundreds are expected to gather at the busy intersection of Portage and Main in downtown Winnipeg, calling for justice for Linda Mary Beardy and all missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited people.

Organizers are calling for action and support of Beardy's family, who in a statement, said they're saddened Winnipeg Police Chief Danny Smyth said her death is no longer being investigated as a homicide.

Beardy's body was discovered at a landfill outside Winnipeg on Monday, and police initially ruled her death as suspicious. But on Thursday, Smyth announced they'd found video surveillance showing the 33-year-old mother of four climbing into a commercial garbage bin, before a garbage truck came by the site a few hours later and took its contents to the landfill.

As Rosanna Hempel reports, rally organizers are calling for the landfill — where the bodies of other missing indigenous women have been found — to be shut down.
