St. Theresa Point members wore red in support of MMIWG and search during Heather Stefanson’s campaign stop

A year and a half on, there’s still no sign of Ashlee Shingoose.

The pain of that uncertainty was written on the face of her father, Albert Shingoose, when Progressive Conservative Leader Heather Stefanson leaned in to shake his hand during a campaign visit last week in St. Theresa Point First Nation.

“I am very, very … down, feeling low, feeling lost without my daughter,” who was last seen in March 2022 in downtown Winnipeg, said Albert.

He had a message for Stefanson when she visited the northeastern Manitoba First Nation.

“Search the landfill, search the landfill! I said that loud and clear for her,” he told CBC News.

Those calls were also on display at St. Theresa First Nation School, where hundreds of students took part in a silent statement by wearing red or holding up red signs.
