OTTAWA — Canada and Manitoba are partnering to launch an alert system that would inform the public when an Indigenous woman or girl goes missing, they announced Friday in Winnipeg, ahead of a national day to mark the crisis.

The long-awaited Red Dress Alert system is a bid to prevent deaths and increase safe reunions with loved ones.

"In the lead-up to Red Dress Day, we keep those who have been stolen from their communities and this world in our thoughts, and we centre them in our action," said Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree. "We look forward to working inclusively with Indigenous partners in Manitoba to find the best path forward as we build this pilot project."
