Camp Morgan coming down after two years in wake of landfill search
After two years of activity, a camp calling for the search of a Winnipeg landfill is coming down.
Camp Morgan, which is set up outside of the Brady Landfill in Winnipeg, will extinguish its sacred fire at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The camp was created in December 2022, calling for the provincial government to search the nearby Prairie Green landfill for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran, two Indigenous women murdered by serial killer Jeremy Skibicki in 2022. The remains of the two women are believed to be in the landfill.

A sacred fire has been burning at the camp even after Skibicki’s guilty verdict in the summer of 2024.
“We spoke about what to do next, and decided it was time to let our fire go out. It’s only a matter of time now until we are able to bring Morgan home and lay her to rest properly,” Melissa Robinson, founder of outreach group Morgan’s Warriors, wrote on Facebook.
The search of the Prairie Green landfill began in December 2024.
