Candlelight vigil for missing woman held on Manitoulin Island

Around 50 people took part in a candlelight vigil this past weekend on Manitoulin Island to share their prayers for a local woman who has been missing for over a month.
While police and volunteers continue their efforts to locate 30-year-old Juanita Migwans, who has been missing since October 2, family, friends and supporters gathered in M’Chigeeng on Saturday evening to pray.
Police continue to ask the wider public to check their properties and buildings for Migwans who was last seen walking on Highway 551 and Oakhill Drive in M’Chigeeng at approximately 10:30 a.m. and wearing a light-coloured jacket and dark-coloured pants.
Police say there have been no sightings and no activity on any of her banking or personal sites since that day.
Anyone with any information is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.
