Today, we celebrate all the incredible people who mother us. Mothering is more than just how someone is born; it is about the deep love, guidance, and care that helps our whole community grow.

We want to honour every kind of mother:

Mothers and Stepmothers: Who provide daily love and support.

Aunties and Big Sisters: Who step up to lead and protect.

Chosen Mothers: Who choose to love and claim us as their own.

Grieving Mothers: We hold a special space for mothers who have lost their children. Your love does not end, and we honour your strength and your journey.

Grieving Children: We send extra love to those missing their mothers today. We honour the lasting bond and the memories you carry in your hearts.

We know that being a mother, or being mothered, looks different for everyone based on their identity and their story. Thank you for the many ways you help us grow and for building a kinder, fairer future for all of us.

May 5th is Red Dress Day.

You might see red dresses hanging from trees, in windows, or worn by people in your community. These dresses are a powerful symbol for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S) across Canada.

To be a true friend and ally, we have to look at the whole picture. This isn't just about one issue it’s about how different things like racism, sexism, and the history of our country overlap.

Indigenous women and gender-diverse people often face more danger because they are treated unfairly by systems that are supposed to protect them. This is why an intersectional approach is so important, ensuring safety for all, especially those who are most at risk.

We hang these dresses to fill the empty spaces left behind and to demand a future where every Indigenous person is safe, respected, and loved.

May 4-10 is Mental Health Week!

This year’s theme is "Come Together, Canada."
Connection is like fuel for our brains. It helps us stay strong and feel better. This week, let's focus on making small, simple connections that can make a huge difference:

Say hello to a neighbour or classmate.

Send a text to a friend you haven't talked to in a while.

Listen when someone tells you how they are doing.

We are stronger when we are connected. Let's look out for each other and make sure no one has to go through a hard time by themselves. 💚
