May 5th is known as Red Dress Day, remembering missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls who have been victims of violence. Gender-based violence has a disproportionate impact on Indigenous women and girls in Canada. We need to continue to advocate for their safety.

Last Thursday, the craft group gathered, and an amazing idea blossomed. We decided to craft cards using recycled buttons, some dating back at least 50 years. Come join CFUW Burlington and this fantastic interest group to spark your creativity!

October 4th is #SistersInSpirit Day, an initiative that began as an effort to document violence against Indigenous women and girls across Canada, and ultimately seeks to heighten awareness about and work to address the #MMIWG2S+ crisis in Canada.
