Gratitude starts with how we treat ourselves and each other. So this weekend, take a moment to rest, to breathe, to say no when you need to, and yes to something that brings you joy. Then pass a little kindness along: a text to a friend, a thank-you to a neighbour, or spend time with the people you love.

You deserve the same care you give everyone else. 💛

For many Indigenous peoples, Thanksgiving can be a challenging holiday, tied to a colonial history of displaced communities and broken treaties. As we gather with gratitude, we acknowledge that we live and work on the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat, and we're committed to learning, listening, and standing with Indigenous communities beyond this weekend.

NYWC wishes you a peaceful and nourishing Thanksgiving.

Today (May 5), Red Dress Day marks the National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit, Trans, and Gender-Diverse people.

What began as The REDress Project by Métis artist Jaime Black-Morsette has grown into a powerful visual and collective call to remember, to grieve, and to act.

MMIWG2S+ is not history. It is an ongoing human rights crisis shaped by gender-based and racialized violence. Indigenous women and girls continue to face disproportionately high rates of violence, and the calls for justice remain unmet.

Today is not just about awareness. It is about accountability.

Wear red.
Listen deeply to families and survivors.
Learn the truths that are often left out.
Support Indigenous-led work.
Demand action.
