Red Dress Day marked in Annie Pootoogook Park

On May 5, the non-profit Tungasuvvingat Inuit organized an event in Annie Pootoo-gook Park to mark Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people. A day of remembrance and action. The day is marked by the display of red dresses, often in public spaces, to symbolize the lives of those who have been lost to violence. —Philip Owen
