On March 1st, 2021, Autistics United Canada will be holding a virtual vigil for the ninth annual Disability Day of Mourning.

The International Disability Day of Mourning commemorates people with disabilities murdered by family members and caregivers. We honour and celebrates the lives of our disabled ancestors who met unjust deaths at the hands of their caretakers.

The vigil will include several speeches from the disabled community, a reading of victims' names, and a moment of silence.
