May 19 to 25 is Indigenous Awareness Week, and the 14 Wing Greenwood Defence Indigenous Advisory Group invites you to join in several events. All activities are free and open to the Defence Team and community friends.
May 16, the Moose Hide Campaign begins. This initiative began as a way to engage men and boys in ending violence towards women and children, and has grown into a nationwide movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians all committed to taking action to end this violence. Wearing the moose hide pin signifies your commitment to honour, respect and protect the women and children in your life and speak out against gender-based and domestic violence.
May 21, at 8:15 a.m., the Grand Council Flag will be raised at the main gate, with the Honour Song and a smudge. Later in the day, at 1:30 p.m., the DIAG hosts a free screening of Gord Downie and The Secret Path, at the Birchall Theatre.
Save the date for June 21 activities, as the DIAG will mark National Indigenous Peoples Day and the Summer solstice. Details will follow.
