The Mi’kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre’s Red Shawl Campaign will take place from Oct. 2-4, 2024, honoring the lost lives of Indigenous women and girls and raising awareness of the violence, injustice, and systemic barriers behind the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada.
The red shawl, symbolizing protection, guides us toward healing and justice for our lost sisters. This year’s three-day campaign includes a Red Shawl exhibit and various community events aimed at fostering understanding and a commitment to creating a safer, more just world for Indigenous women and girls. Join us as we honour those we have lost and seek protection for those who remain and the ones yet to be born. Together, we can make a difference.
Beaverbrook Art Gallery Display
In an act of solidarity, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery will host a complementary installation from Sept. 22 – Oct. 6, 2024, featuring 13 red shawls in the Harrison McCain Pavilion. This partnership amplifies our message and provides an additional platform for community engagement.
On Oct. 4, 2024, at 7 p.m., a vigil at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick will offer space for reflection and community solidarity.
