2024 Red Dress Day (National Day of Awareness for MMIWG2S)

On May 05, the IAMC-TMX is observing Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People(MMIWG2S).

The IAMC-TMX Socioeconomic Subcommittee is collaborating with Natural Resources Canada, the lead department for UNDA Action Plan Measure 12, to better understand and respond to the ongoing gendered and racialized violence against Indigenous women, girls, and2SLGBTQIA+ people associated with the resource sector.

On this important day, we encourage all Canadians to continue educating themselves about the MMIWG Calls for Justice and to support MMIWG events in their local area.

Day One of the IAMC-TMX 2025 Line Wide Gathering 2025 had a powerful beginning, starting with ceremony, elders and professional drummers & dancers. We then heard from leadership. The Co-Chairs, Ray Cardinal and Kelly Kutchaw-Polak, welcomed all and shared the story of IAMC-TMX, and what's next and beyond. The day was filled with learning from brilliant panellists and experts. New relationships were formed and old ones strengthened. There was an Indignous market, lots of laughter, moments of insight and lots of good food! Here are some photos of this eventful day!

On October 04, the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Gender Diverse people (MMIWG2S+), the IAMC-TMX Socioeconomic Subcommittee (SESC) holds space for families, friends, and communities who continue to live with unimaginable loss. Otherwise known as Sisters in Spirit Day, this day is a reminder that the crisis of MMIWG2S+ is historical and ongoing, stemming from the systemic marginalization of Indigenous women through policy, lack of accountability, and injustice. Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and gender diverse people continue to face disproportionate levels of violence in Canada. The SESC encourages all Canadians to be a part of ending the crisis of violence, disappearance, and murder of Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people – doing so is a shared responsibility. Listen and learn, and advocate in your workplaces, institutions and communities for addressing the root causes of violence and anti-racism, for improving public service cultural competency, and for advocating for legal system reforms. #MMIWG2S #sistersinspirit #honourthewomen
