May 5 – Red Dress Day
On May 5, Physical Literacy NWT honours National MMIWG2S Awareness Day, also known as Red Dress Day.
This day honours and remembers the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit, and gender-diverse people across Canada.
It is a time to reflect on the deep need for safety, justice, respect, and healing within all communities.
We are reminded of Call to Action 41 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, which called for a national inquiry into the many cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls — a call that continues to guide the work of reconciliation today.
At Physical Literacy NWT, we believe that movement is more than physical — it is a way to connect, to honour stories, and to build stronger, safer communities for everyone.
Today, we move with purpose.
We honour with every step.
