Red Dress Day is May 5—Join us in marking this important day
The following message was also emailed to faculty and staff on April 22, 2025.
Red Dress Day is a National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Gender Diverse Peoples (MMIWG2S) that takes place on May 5. It is a day to remember, to learn, and to take action.
No one knows exactly how many Indigenous women, girls, and gender diverse people have gone missing or have been murdered in Canada, but some estimates indicate the number is more than 4,000 since 1980. It may be much higher.
