May 5th marks the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2SG+), also known as Red Dress Day and is a time that we honour and remember the lives of the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people. This day serves as a reminder of the ongoing crisis affecting Indigenous communities across Canada. It is an opportunity for us to reflect, learn, and take action toward justice and healing.
