“Since 1979, Lanark County Interval House and Community Support has been providing safe, emergency shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Over the years, our services have grown to include extensive community support programs including individual and group counselling, second stage housing, family court support and programs specific to children and youth. As we honour our 40th year of service, we celebrate the leadership of strong feminist advocates, the outstanding support of community and the amazing demonstration of courage by women and children of Lanark County. We continue to do the work with gratitude, and our evolution remains rooted in the lived experience and the strong voices of women.”

Today, May 5th, is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. On this day of national importance we can honour the MMIWG by embracing and supporting community healing. We recognize the epidemic of MMIWG here in Canada, in the United States and around the world.![]()

Indigenous women and girls in Canada are disproportionately affected by violence and are over-represented in the rate of women that are murdered and go missing. The rate of homicide of Indigenous women is five times higher than non-Indigenous women.![]()

This day has become synonymous with red dresses and even known as Red Dress Day because of Jaime Black's The REDress Project.![]()

Metis artist Jaime Black, who is based in Winnipeg, founded the REDress Project to focus on the issue of missing or murdered Aboriginal women across Canada. The project is a visual reminder of the staggering number of women who are no longer with us.![]()

Black chose the colour red after speaking with an indigenous friend who told her that red is the only colour spirits can see and is a way of calling the spirits of missing and murdered women and girls back to their loved ones.![]()

Today, please take a moment to acknowledge the MMIWG. If you are able, wear something red in solidarity.
