EVENTS
MOOSE HIDE CAMPAIGN: The Moose Hide Campaign began 10 years ago here in BC. It is an Indigenous-led grassroots movement to engage men and boys in ending violence towards women and children. It has since grown into a nationwide movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians from local communities, First Nations, governments, schools, police forces, and many other organizations – all committed to taking action to end this violence.
A cornerstone of the Moose Hide Campaign is the moose hide pin. Wearing the 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. To date, over four million moose hide pins have been distributed to communities, schools, and workplaces across Canada. Pins are now available in the church office for free or by donation. |
MAPPING THE GROUND WE STAND ON: This FREE event will be held at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, downstairs in the hall, located at 6234 Spartan Road, Nanaimo (close to Superstore). There are two dates to choose from, either Wednesday 22nd May at 5:30pm to 8:30pm or Thursday 23rd May at 11:30am to 2:30pm, please register your preferred date through the office at 250.933.8208, refreshments will be provided. This is an Interactive Workshop Exploring Indigenous and Settler Relationships, developed to help make sense of the deep challenges faced by First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples today. It lays out historical and contextual realities that Indigenous peoples in Canada face daily. It offers suggestions for taking action, for participants to journey further on paths of reconciliation, and for the creation of a better and more just country for all of us.
