“This event is held in recognition of Red Dress Day that’s on May 5, which raises awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people,” Arcand explained. “Wearing red is a powerful way to honour those who are missing, support families, and help bring attention to this ongoing crisis.” 

Information will also be shared at the event about Blue Jean Jacket Day held June 6. Blue Jean Jacket Day was launched in Edmonton in 2023 to raise awareness about the violence, trafficking, and exploitation of Indigenous men and boys.  

“This is an issue that often doesn’t get enough attention,” said Arcand. 

Everyone at Friday’s walk is encouraged to wear red and denim in support of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people, and Indigenous men and boys affected by violence, trafficking, and exploitation. 

“Everyone is welcome, we hope people can come out to stand together in remembrance and help raise awareness in our community.”
