Indigenous entertainer plaques not stolen: festival society – Edmonton Journal

July 8, 2018

Plaques dedicated to successful Indigenous entertainers may not be missing as was previously reported.

“As far as we know, there are no plaques stolen,” said Doreen Cardinal, who works with the Dreamspeakers Film Festival Society that maintains the Aboriginal Walk of Honour, in a voicemail to Postmedia on Friday. “We do have them here at the office.”

The society was planning to do a check next week, she said.

The site at Beaver Hills House Park on Jasper Avenue and 105 Street is a tribute to Indigenous success stories in the entertainment industry, featuring concrete steps with the honouree’s handprint and a description of their work.

A visitor to the site reported the plates missing Wednesday afternoon around 3 p.m., a police spokesperson said Thursday.
