On May 11, Niagara College’s Indigenous Education department is inviting staff, students and community members to show their support for ending violence against women and children by joining NC’s Moose Hide Campaign Day.
The Moose Hide Campaign is a grassroots nationwide movement that began in British Columbia in 2011, when Paul Lacerte and his daughter Raven, imagined a world in which everyone took a stand to end gender-based violence and violence towards children.
The NC Moose Hide Campaign event will take place in the Wellness Lounge at the Welland Campus on May 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The event will start with a short presentation explaining the Moose Hide Campaign and will be followed by the Moose Hide pledge – a commitment to respecting and protecting women and children, support for truth and reconciliation, a willingness to reverse the harm done by residential schools, and a symbol of honouring Indigenous medicine and belonging.
Those who take the pledge will receive a symbolic moose hide pin to proudly display.
All are invited to participate in the event and the important conversation around gender-based violence.
Light refreshments will be available.
