National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & 2-Spirit People

May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & 2-Spirit People. Students have been engaging in learning about how systemic barriers failed to prevent and address cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women, children and 2SLGBTQ+ individuals. We encourage our community to learn more at Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. On May 5, secondary students from St. Mary Catholic Secondary School will be attending the Gathering to Honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples hosted by Carea Community Health Centre. Staff will be attending the Gathering and selling sweaters to donate all the proceeds back to the Carea Community Health Centre to support the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
