On May 5th, we welcome Dan Martel – Co-Founder of Aboriginal Alert to speak about why he dedicates his time to this cause.

Under Dan’s leadership, Aboriginal Alert has issued over 4,000 alerts, launched the Compassion Circle Campaign, and developed vital tools including an email alerting system, an auto poster generator, and a missing person tracking system accessible to all Canadians.
Committed to compassion, community-led solutions, and systemic change, Dan has helped position Aboriginal Alert as a vital bridge between Indigenous families and the broader Canadian public. His work is driven by a deep respect for Indigenous rights, resilience, and self-determination, ensuring that missing Indigenous people are never forgotten.
