Red Dress Day a day to raise awareness, get involved, support our community
May 3, 2023 - 1:00pm
May 5 is recognized annually as Red Dress Day – a National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Two-Spirit people (identify as having both a feminine and masculine spirit). IWG2S persons are at a greater risk of abuse and violence due to factors beyond their control such as gender, cultural heritage, gender identity, poverty, colonialism.
The first Red Dress Day, held in 2010, was inspired by a national public art installation where red dresses were hung in a variety of places to bring attention to this crisis. Since then, displaying red dresses has been a way to increase awareness. There is a permanent red dress installation in the lobby of Saskatoon City Hall.
The City is helping bring awareness to this issue on May 5 in the following ways:
Red Dress Day Outdoor Installation
7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Lawn between City Hall and 24th St E
Red Dress Day Awareness Walk
6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Starts/ends @ Vimy Memorial Bandstand (in park near 20th St E and Spadina Cres E)
This event is led by community with the support of the City. All are welcome.
Several civic facilities will be lit up red on the evening of May 5 including City Hall, the Prairie Wind art installation beside Remai Modern, and the SaskTel Centre.
