Red Dress Day Event

Join us on May 5th, as we recognize Red Dress Day, the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirited people. 

Red Dress Day raises awareness about MMIWG2S. The red dress has become a symbol of the movement, representing the missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirited people who are no longer with us. 

Indigenous Education & Engagement and the Humber Libraries are collaborating to observe Red Dress Day with a keynote address by Indigenous poet Sarah Lewis, followed by a drop-in book wrapping workshop in collaboration with The Canadian Library to honour MMIWG2S and children through art.

  • Location: North Campus, LRC Concourse 
  • When: Friday May 5th
  • Time: 9:00 am - 12:30 pm. 

Registration for the keynote is encouraged, but not required.

Drop-in at 10:30 am - 12:30 pm to wrap a book in honour of Red Dress Day.
