This Sunday, May 5th, is Red Dress Day. The National Awareness Day for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Two Spirit and 2SLGBTQQIA people, as well as Missing, Murdered and Exploited Indigenous Peoples #MMEIP. Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people have traditionally been revered as life-givers and caregivers. Yet, all too many times they become the victims of violence. Together we stand in solidarity with Indigenous families and communities to honour the lives lost and those still living with the pain. As community members, we can all do our part to educate ourselves, raise awareness and show support for MMIW fighting against injustice. Learn more about the MMIW cause and it's history here: https://lnkd.in/gthxv_JJ #MMIWG2ST #MMEIP #NoMoreStolenSisters #MMIWActionNow

Today marks the International Day of Forests, dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness of the critical role of trees in our lives. This year's theme, Forests and Innovation, shares how trees provide us with powerful alternatives and substitutions for everyday items, like biodegradable material. Outland's dedication to protecting forests is shown through our Outland Youth Employment Program (OYEP) which provides equity and opportunity for Indigenous Youth through land based learning. In 2023, 78,500 trees were planted, marking a significant step towards environmental conservation and regeneration. It is our collective responsibility to safeguard our forests.
