RCMP Staff Sergeant Wayne McClary, top, the team leader of the task force assigned to find those responsible for the deaths of murdered women in B.C. and to find out what happened to others who are missing, spoke at a march and rally held in Terrace Oct. 4. Top, a marcher holds a poster containing the picture of Lana Derrick who went missing here in 1995. The rally was held at the Terrace RCMP detachment.
TERRACE - Family and friends of missing First Nations woman Lana Derrick organized a rally outside the Terrace RCMP detachment Saturday afternoon Oct. 4, calling for a national inquiry into all murdered and missing women. “It’s significant because it’s the Highway of Tears where so many aboriginal women have gone missing,” said rally organizer Wanda Good of the choice to start the march at Ferry Island and then follow Hwy16 downtown. “My cousin [Lana Derrick] went missing 19 years ago on Oct. 7, 1995 so we’ve been looking for her ever since, and we haven’t gotten any answers. We didn’t really get a response initially so there was some frustration, and of course there is more frustration with not knowing what happened to her.” Similar rallies have either happened or are to happen around the north and are meant to have the federal government
hold a public inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women not only as a matter to be dealt with through increased law enforcement but as a deeper social issue that requires an inquiry and substantial response from various institutions. Speaking along with Good and the First Nations elders was RCMP Sgt. Wayne Clary who is the head of the RCMP’s missing women’s task force called Project E-PANA. “I am here to represent Lana and help discover what happened to her,” said Good. “A lot of work has been put on this investigation and unfortunately a lot of it is behind us but there are a number of tough things we have to do in front of us. We are going to keep going forward. We have a unit that follows every single one and makes sure they are done properly,” he said, adding that RCMP missing persons operations have improved greatly over ten years. Derrick was a Northwest Community College student when she went missing.
