Moose Hide Campaign Day
All UBCO Campus Community members are invited to join Indigenous Programs & Services, in partnership with SVPRO, CTL and UBCO Library, for a livestream of the 2026 Moose Hide Campaign Day ceremony on May 14 from 8:30 to 10 am with a virtual workshop from 10 to 11:15 am in ART 114. There will be coffee and refreshments available. No registration is necessary, and you are invited to come and go as you please.
The Moose Hide Campaign is a grassroots movement to engage all Canadians in ending violence towards Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit people.
On Moose Hide Campaign Day, you are invited to gather with us in ART 114 to watch the General Plenary and learn how we can all work together to end gender-based violence in Canada. The plenary will feature keynote speaker Dr. Niigaan Sinclair, an award-winning writer, editor and activist, along with a message of hope from Co-founders Raven and Paul Lacerte. Learn more about the General Plenary and the keynote speaker.
