Red Dress Day
Across Turtle Island (North America), red dresses have come to symbolize the thousands of Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people who have gone missing or been murdered. Red Dress Day, inspired by Métis artist Jaime Black’s REDress Project, is observed on May 5 to honour their lives and bring awareness to this injustice.

Calls for Justice
The Calls for Justice were formulated by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. The National Inquiry issued its final report on June 3, 2019. These 231 Calls for Justice are the wide ranging and well-considered results of 2.5 years of work on the part of Chief Commissioner Marion Buller and her fellow Commissioners Michèle Audette, Brian Eyolfson and Qajaq Robinson.
They are responses to the truths shared by more than 2,380 family members of victims, survivors of violence, experts, Elders and Knowledge Keepers during cross country public hearings.
