Organized by local community activist and Household of Hope operator Lisa Valente, the annually event acknowledges by name individuals in the neighborhood who have gone missing or shed their lives to violence — from Autumn Taggart, who was raped and strangled in her residence in 2018, to 6-year-outdated Ljubica Topic, who was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and killed in 1971.

This year’s accumulating usually takes put on Oct. 6, starting 6:30 p.m., in Dieppe Gardens at the foot of Ouellette Avenue at Riverside Push.
The celebration will include things like visitor speakers, a 10-minute march down Ouellette Avenue, a looking at of names, and a instant of silence.
Mel Lucier, former board member of Windsor-Essex Pleasure Fest, will serve as MC.
Valente wrote that the event’s aim is to “bring convenience to our neighborhood members who have skilled outstanding decline thanks to violent crimes.”
