African World Heritage Day-African World Heritage Day is an opportunity for people around the world, and particularly Africans, to celebrate the Continent's unique cultural and natural heritage.
Today is National day of remembrance and awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People across Canada, also known as Red Dress Day. You may have noticed red dresses hanging around the school put up by period 1 NDW class. These dresses are a powerful visual representation of the thousands of Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or been victims of violence. Each dress serves as a silent but striking reminder of lives lost and the ongoing need for justice, awareness, and reconciliation. We encourage everyone to take a moment today to reflect on the significance of these red dresses and to learn more about the impact on Indigenous communities. Let’s continue to stand together in raising awareness.
