Algoma U to host Moose Hide Campaign Day events

The events will be held virtually and in person in Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie and Brampton

Algoma University, along with Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig, will be hosting events on all three of its campuses in honour of Moose Hide Campaign Day on May 12.

Moose Hide Campaign Day is when all Canadians are called to join together to take a stand against violence towards women and children and to take practical steps for the collective journey of reconciliation.

The events will be held in Brampton, Sault Ste. Marie and Timmins, both virtually and in person.

In a press release, the university said Moose Hide Campaign Day, which began 11 years ago with a small gathering of men and boys intent on raising awareness of the crisis of violence against Indigenous women and children, has now become a national ceremony.

The university’s manager of Indigenous community relations, training and development, Paul Sayers, is urging the community to wear a Moose Hide pin on May 12 and inviting them to join one of three Algoma University campuses for activities scheduled to commemorate the day.

“Your support signifies your commitment to honour, respect, and protect the women and children in your life and to speak out against domestic and gender-based violence,” said Sayers.

A full schedule of events taking place on each campus will be shared in the coming days on the Algoma University website calendar and Facebook event.
