Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Family Support Worker

Elizabeth London

250-847-5211

Elizabeth began working at the Friendship Centre in the fall of 2023, and it quickly felt like home. She is deeply committed to the work she does. She is dedicated to supporting initiatives related to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and assisting families in need, organizing MMIWG-focused events, and advocating for the meaningful changes our communities deserve.

Elizabeth is a proud member of the Witset First Nation and the Laksilyu (Small Frog) Clan. Elizabeth was born and raised in Smithers, British Columbia, and spent a significant part of her childhood in Witset, which continues to hold a special place in her heart.

She takes great pride in learning more about her culture as she continues to grow, both personally and professionally. Outside of work, Elizabeth enjoys time out of town which includes concerts, hockey games and seeking different sceneries. I also like spending quality time with family and friends—whether that’s preparing a meal together, hiking, fishing, berry picking, or simply relaxing by watching my favourite shows, baking, or practicing self-care.

Elizabeth is available to reach out and connect with our community members to journey with them on difficult and sensitive issues. As the MMIWG Family Support Worker at the Dze L K’ant Friendship Centre, Elizabeth works collaboratively to ensure local families of MMIWG have access to resources.

In this role, Elizabeth assists families with the justice system; provides trauma informed counselling to the families of MMIWG; holds workshops with land-based healing techniques, and hosts events to spread awareness about MMIWG.
