Moose Hide Campaign Day (https://moosehidecampaign.ca/) is a day of ceremony. It’s a day where all Canadians are called to join together to take a stand against violence towards women and children and to take practical steps for our collective journey of reconciliation.
What started 11 years ago with a small gathering of men and boys intent on raising awareness of the crisis of violence against Indigenous woman and children, has now become a national ceremony inviting all Canadians to join together to end violence against all women and children.
On Moose Hide Campaign Day men and boys are challenged, and they invite all Canadians--to fast together from sunrise to sunset to deepen the experience and resolve to create safe families, communities and a safe country for all women and children.
