National Day of Action for MMIWG/Sisters in Spirit Day
Sisters in Spirit vigils and walks are held annually every October 4, the National Day of Action for MMIWG, honouring the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, transgender and gender-diverse people.
In June 2019, the MMIWG National Inquiry released its final report, showing that “persistent and deliberate human and Indigenous rights violations and abuses are the root cause behind Canada’s staggering rates of violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people.”
See the profiles of some of the missing and murdered using CBC’s Case Explorer.
The MMIWG crisis support call line is available to provide support for anyone who requires assistance. This line is available free of charge, 24/7. Please call 1-844-413-6649 if you or someone you know needs help or support.

Extended hours now available at the Pittsburgh Branch
Extended Hours are now available at the Pittsburgh Branch! The Extended Hours Project offers blended service at the Pittsburgh Branch, providing our community with increased access to the library.
Library users can sign up for Extended Hours to access the branch when staff are not on-site. Remote assistance is available, and we will continue to support library users in person during staffed hours.
During Extended Hours, users can browse the collection, borrow and return materials, pick up holds, access public computers and Wi-Fi, copy and print and use the library space.
Operating hours for the Pittsburgh Branch, both staffed and Extended Hours, are available on our website. Please note that staffed hours have changed, and plan to visit the branch during staffed hours if you have not registered for Extended Hours.
Celebrating Islamic History Month
