The Office of Indigenous Relations (OIR) and the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO) will host Red Dress Day to honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People, featuring a sacred fire and ceremonial dress-hanging event by Elder Myeengun Henry. This will be followed by a storytelling presentation by researcher Tamara Bernard, who shares how storytelling serves as both remembrance and resistance—carrying the voices of those no longer here while restoring dignity and challenging harmful narratives.
