National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2‑Spirited People

Today, on the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2‑Spirited People, the Truth and Reconciliation Committee organized a meaningful day of learning, reflection, and action for staff at the Catholic Education Centre. Participants engaged in a variety of learning stations, including displays honouring Indigenous women, a red dress bead workshop, a doll workshop, a poetry walk in the woods, and a campfire and smudge.

Thank you to the Truth and Reconciliation Committee and to everyone who contributed their time and care to create this powerful and meaningful experience.

We encourage all members of our Catholic learning community to use this time to reflect on the systemic discrimination and injustice that contribute to these tragedies and to continue to advocate for change. Learn more at https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/. Link in bio.
