Spokesman John Beardsley of St. Pauls Trinity Anglican Church in Wingham says the bells will ring for each missing or murdered aboriginal woman.

He says that represents the work and education that needs to be done

Bells will also ring at the Blyth and Brussels Anglican Churches which are also part of the Parrish of New Beginnings.
