National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQ+ people (MMIWG)

The National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQ+ people is a solemn day in Canada dedicated to raising awareness about the violence faced by these communities. The commemoration began with the "REDress Project," an art installation created by Métis artist Jaime Black. It serves to honour the lives lost and to call for justice, systemic change and increased protections.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*

*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.

Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
