Supporters hold their ground at the Winnipeg landfill as the noon deadline passes

"Dozens of people outside Winnipeg's Brady Road landfill have built barricades and are signaling their unwillingness to leave, despite a noon deadline from the city to vacate the area and the possibility of legal action. Cambria Harris, whose mother's remains are believed to be in the Prairie Green landfill north of Winnipeg, is one of the people who called for the blockade to be erected and for others to join the demonstration at the Brady Road landfill." -- CBC's Rachel Bergen reporting.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Native defenders and family members of the victims are demanding a search of landfills for murdered Indigenous women. They established Camp Morgan at the Brady Road landfill, after remains of murdered Indigenous women were found here, and set up a barricade on the road Thursday after the city refused to search for murdered Indigenous women at a second landfill.
