Red Dress Day raises awareness for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls
Motorists passing the intersection of Highway 16 and 97 will now be able to see Mr. PG waving the Prince George Red Dress Society's flag.
Two years ago, the City of Prince Georgeofficially proclaimed May 5 as a "Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-spirit People" as an act of solidarity with the community of Ladysmith, B.C. where a red dress installation was vandalized. “We've raised the flag in support of that, not only to bring awareness within our own community, to be able to hold space for people and to say that's not okay,” said Tammy Miese, president of the Prince George Red Dress Society, who lost her childhood best friend Kari Anne Gordon when she went missing and was found murdered in 1998.
“So, to have a day where there's awareness — they can hang a dress up in the window, they can go on walks, or vigils, or they can go to the monument to remember their loved one.”
