More than 100 people filled the Blue Feather Youth Centre on Friday night to remember Angel Carlick.

'It was jam-packed,' Vicki Durrant, the centre's executive director, said today. 'It was beautiful.'

Family, friends, and concerned community members filled the centre to remember the 19-year-old who had worked at the centre and had made lasting contributions to the community, including her work on three murals around town.

Friday's service came a week after Carlick's remains were found in a wooded area north of the Pilot Mountain subdivision. She had been missing since last May.

During Friday's service, traditional drumming and singing, the releasing of balloons and a feast at the end all marked the memory of Carlick with the sharing of thoughts and words about the young woman as well, NDP MLA Steve Cardiff said this morning.

'It was very, very powerful,' Durrant said, noting she's had many people she doesn't know calling to note the beauty of the ceremony.

While it and many other events were held through last week at the youth centre, Durrant noted it was staff at the victim services branch of the Yukon government that organized the event in addition to the counselling provided through the week.

Durrant also praised the RCMP for their work in both the search for Carlick and in the week that has passed since her body was found.

'They worked really hard,' she said. She believes a good relationship has been built between the RCMP and youth as officers have worked with the teenagers who frequent the centre, she added.

Numerous first nation leaders from around the territory were also on-hand to support Carlick's family and friends, Durrant pointed out.

Cardiff noted that one of the main ideas that came out of the service was the need for people in the community to take better care of one another, including the youth.

'It was pretty moving,' he said.

Over the next week, the youth centre will be returning to its more regular programs, Durrant said.

Victim services counsellors will, however, be on-hand at the centre from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m. through the week, she said.
