May 5 is Red Dress Day
May 3, 2022 - 4:26am
- Print and display a Red Dress Decal.
- Register for the May 18th Creating Safe Spaces for IWG2S panel discussion on ways to make our community safer, more welcoming, and more inclusive.
Red Dress Day, observed annually on May 5, is a National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Two-Spirit people (those who identify as having both a feminine and masculine spirit).
The first Red Dress Day, held in 2010, was inspired by a public art installation: red dresses were hung in a range of environments to bring attention to this issue.
To help raise awareness about MMIWG2S and demonstrate support, individuals and organizations are invited to take two actions:
There are also a variety of Red Dress activities taking place around the city this week.
IWG2S people face disproportionate violence, trauma, and exploitation. This isn’t an Indigenous issue; it’s a community issue. We have a collective responsibility for supporting IWG2S persons in reclaiming their power and place.

Woodlawn Cemetery Guidelines for Gravesite Memorials
May 2, 2022 - 10:30am
- Only approved monuments or memorials are considered permanent items and are permitted to remain in the cemetery year-round. All other items placed on a gravesite, flowerbed, monument, or concrete foundation are considered temporary and need to be removed weekly.
- Flowers and other items are permitted on the gravesite the day of the burial and will be left for a period of seven calendar days. After this time, items will be removed by the City. Please note, the City does not take responsibility for any removed, damaged, or missing items placed in the cemetery by the public.
- Families may establish a flowerbed at the gravesite upon approval from the Cemetery Office, except for military burials in the Field of Honour and flat marker areas. Annual flowers are allowed, provided they do not hang over the edge of the flowerbed or impede maintenance of adjacent gravesites. Flowerbeds must be approved by the Cemetery Office prior to installation to ensure they are within guidelines.
- Items not allowed in flowerbeds include shrubs, perennials, decorative fencing, rocks, stones, concrete, and breakable or fragile items.
- The City assumes no responsibility for the appearance, maintenance and fall cleanup of approved flowerbeds planted by the public. If flowerbeds are neglected, they will be removed.
