Today, on May 5th—Red Dress Day—we honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2-Spirit people across Canada. Each red dress is a symbol of the thousands who have been taken, a stark reminder of the violence that continues, and a call to action we must never ignore. This is not history.…

Bursting with pride for my beautiful best friend, @lucymeechan, who was honoured last night with the Teesa Sharma Memorial Award for her incredible volunteer contributions to our community. There is…

I’ve always loved wearing nail polish — something about those little pops of colour on my fingertips makes me so happy. Lately though, my chronic tremor has made it harder to paint my nails the way I used to. Today, my oldest sat down with me, held my trembling hands, and carefully painted them for…
