"The grandmother of Ramona Wilson (murdered in June 1994, remains found near Smithers airport April '95) will start a walk from Smithers to Prince George. Matilda Wilson is expected to arrive here at 9 a.m. on the 30th, to officially open the symposium" says Zatorski who says organizers will meet Wilson at the Massey/Ospika intersection and walk with her for the final bocks to the CN Centre. Zatorski says members of Nicole Hoar's family will also be here. Nicole disappeared in June 2002 .
Zatorski expects approximately 500 people to atend the two day symposium. set for the 30th and 31st at the CN Centre.
In the meantime, she says Matilda Wilson could use some help. She says the grandmother would sure appreciate the use of a trailer or camper that could follow her on this journey. Anyone willing to help can contact Rena Zatorski at the Lheidli T'enneh Band Council office 963-8451.
