May 5 is Red Dress Day, a National Day of Awareness and Action honouring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirited People (MMIWG2S+). Originating from the REDress Project by Métis artist Jaime Black, this day is marked by red dresses displayed in public spaces and worn in solidarity. We invite our Sea to Sky community to reflect, remember, and stand in allyship.

Indigenous women and girls are more likely to go missing or to be murdered than non-Indigenous women and girls. We are working with provinces, territories, Indigenous organizations and communities nationwide to end this crisis and ensure their safety.

Canadian Mental Health Week (May 4–10) is a time to raise awareness and support positive mental health. Sea to Sky School District is recognizing this year’s theme, Come Together, Canada, which highlights the role connection plays in well-being.

Many people across Canada are experiencing loneliness, and even small actions like checking in or reaching out can make a difference. Connection is a key part of mental health, helping build stronger, more supportive communities.
