Winnipeg campout for murdered, missing inquiry set to come down

The protest camp for missing and murdered aboriginal women at Winnipeg's Memorial Park is coming down.

The camp was set up across from the legislative building in Winnipeg on Aug. 21 — five days after the discovery of Tina Fontaine's body in the Red River sparked renewed calls for an inquiry.

• Winnipeg protesters camp out for murdered, missing inquiry
• Tina Fontaine death renews calls for inquiry into missing women
• Government now open to roundtable on missing and murdered aboriginal women 
• Premiers, aboriginal leaders propose missing women roundtable as 1st step

​Fontaine, 15, was killed after running away from her foster home weeks earlier.

Camp organizers told CBC News on Friday they believe that the camp has run its course, especially since the federal government announced it would participate in a roundtable on the issue if invited.

Organizers called that only a partial victory because they had been calling for a national inquiry.

However, they feel like they've been listened to, acknowledged by the premiers across Canada and now the federal government.

The camp will come down on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., and will include a feast to thank the community.
