The family of Tim McLean, the Winnipeg man slain on a Greyhound bus this summer, will hold a memorial vigil.
The vigil will take place on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. at the Manitoba Legislative grounds.
Speakers for the event include McLean's mother, Carole de Delley, and former Bomber kicker Troy Westwood.
McLean, 22, was the victim of a brutal murder the night of July 30 while riding a Greyhound bus from Edmonton to Winnipeg.
McLean was stabbed and beheaded by another passenger on the bus near Portage la Prairie.
Vincent Weiguang-Li, 40, faces charges in the killing, and after a psychiatric assessment, has been deemed mentally fit to stand trial.
Family has launched lawsuit
McLean's family is suing the bus line and the federal government for failing to ensure passenger safety.
The lawsuit is on behalf of 13 family members, and says Greyhound and the federal government failed to put in place proper safety measures.
The lawsuit is for $150,000, and details five violent incidents that happened before the murder, and one incident that took place afterward.
The family now wants to see the same security measures at bus depots that are already in place in airports.
Watch for more on CTV News tonight at 6 p.m.
