Capability Career Group

Thank you for joining us for ! Kudos to & for bringing Black Employment Awareness Month to life!

As an Indigenous affirming organization, we are using and will continue to use our voices to advance justice and inclusion of all Indigenous people, and we call upon our allies, supporters, donors, and partners to do the same today and every single day!

Today is Red Dress Day, a day devoted to remembering, honouring, and advocating on behalf of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQ+ people.

Inspired by Jamie Black, a Métis artist from Manitoba who hung hundreds of red dresses in public to represent MMIWG2S+, this day raises awareness about the disproportionate violence that Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people face in Canada.

Five years after the final report on MMIWG, the crisis persists. On Red Dress Day and beyond, let’s stand in solidarity, honour the lives lost, and demand action. Together, we can create a safe future for all Indigenous people.
