Missing and murdered indigenous women inquiry needed, Calgary council says

Calgary city council is supporting calls for a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women.

Council voted 11 to 4 Monday morning to have Mayor Naheed Nenshi send a letter to the federal government, calling on it to hold a public inquiry.

• Rachel Notley calls for inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women
• Truth and Reconciliation report brings calls for action, not words

The inquiry was a recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which released its report earlier this year.

City council has also called for administrators to present a plan for the city's response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by next spring.
