Deep Dive

Into True Crime

Join us every month for a virtual discussion on true crime. This month we will discuss the history of the Highway of Tears, a corridor of Highway 16 in Canada.

This program is intended for adults who like to read about and research true crime. This month will focus exclusively on the Highway of Tears which is a long stretch of highway in Canada where numerous indigenous women and girls have been targeted for predation resulting in missing and murdered individuals.
