Today is Red Dress Day, in honour of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people.

Events are held annually on May 5 across the country, including in this province.

The Minister Responsible for Labrador and Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation, Lisa Dempster, will be in Corner Brook for a commemoration ceremony organized by the Qalipu First Nation.

The ceremony will honour people and families in Newfoundland and Labrador and nationally who have been affected by the trauma associated with loss and violence.

It’s scheduled to take place at 1 p.m. at the Mikwite’tm Garden on Church Street, and everyone is welcome to attend.
