Annual Young walk followed by "Lights on for Lisa"
Nanaimo, BC — Eighteen years after Lisa Marie Young went missing without a trace, loved ones and supporters marched down the streets of Nanaimo to ensure her disappearance remains in the public eye.
On Sunday, June 28 dozens participated in the annual walk for the missing Tla-o-qui-aht woman, an event that has been held annually since 2003. The walk began at the Nanaimo RCMP detachment, progressing to the city's waterfront on a warm afternoon.
Lisa Marie Young was last heard of on June 30, 2002*, when she was out with friends to celebrate a birthday. She was 21 at the time.
On Tuesday, June 30 people are encouraged to participate in "Lights on for Lisa" by leaving porch lights on to recognize Young's disappearance.
"Even if you didn't know Lisa, please leave your lights on for her," reads the event's Facebook page. "She could have been your sister, daughter, granddaughter, or friend. Our community needs healing, we need to find Lisa."
This year both events were recognized by the City of Nanaimo with an official proclamation signed by Mayor Leonard Krog.

* Several publications misreported dates surrounding Lisa's disappearance — likely confused by the long weekend, and propagated by RCMP. Lisa's parents last saw her late Sunday June 30th, and she was last seen by her friends at the bar and at two parties early Monday July 1st (Canada Day), which was also the day she was to move into a new apartment, and when her disappearance was reported to RCMP. The next day Lisa failed to show up for the first day at her new job. (See the timelines and the dates referenced here and here.)
