May 12 was Moose Hide Campaign Day - a day when all Canadians are called to come together to take a stand against violence towards Indigenous women and children and continue our journey towards reconciliation. The foundation of the Moose Hide Campaign comes from a northern B.C. hunting expedition in 2011 near the "Highway of Tears". This is where founder Paul Lacerte and his daughter Raven came up with the idea that a moose, which they were harvesting for the winter months, could be a symbol to end violence against women and children across the country. 11 years later,

the father-daughter duo still run this campaign every year, allowing important dialog to be had about gender-based violence.
