Organizers for the “Red, White & Boom” race, the “TC Kids Sparkler Dash,” and corresponding festival events said the threat of those severe storms forced cancellations.
Organizers said although Twin Cities in Motion has a “no refund” policy, runners who paid for their entry will receive a $10 credit and can expect that credit code in email by July 31.
Runners can pick up their participation shirt and/or medal at the Twin Cities in Motion office, from July 12-15, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
“We are disappointed to be unable to host today’s event for you, but safety of participants and volunteers will always be Twin Cities In Motion’s primary concern,” organizers said in a statement.
Red Shirt Day (of Action for Accessibility and Inclusion) 2022 – GlobalNews Events
Red Shirt Day (of Action for AccessAbility and Inclusion) is a day when people across Canada come together and wear red in schools, workplaces and spaces everywhere in order to create a visible display of solidarity: to show their support for persons and families who are living with disabilities, celebrate the achievements of people living with disabilities, and to pledge their commitment to help create a fully accessible and inclusive society that honours and values the contributions of people of all abilities in all aspects of life in Canada. Red Shirt Day was started by Easter Seals Canada in 2019, and takes place on the Wednesday of National AccessAbility Week each year. In 2022, Red Shirt Day will take place on June 1st. On that day, Canadians are invited to wear red and post a selfie or a group photo with family members, friends, classmates or colleagues – along with their pledges to accessibility and inclusion – on social media with the hashtags: #RedShirtDay, #RedForAccessAbility, #EasterSeals.

Red Lot viewing party a ticketed event for Game 7
Article content
If you’re planning to watch Sunday’s night’s Calgary Flames-Dallas Stars game from the Red Lot Community Viewing Party, you’re going to need a ticket.
Article content
Due to what they’re calling “incredibly high demand,” the Flames announced on Saturday that the game-night viewing party will be shifting to a ticketed event effective immediately.
“The decision to move to a ticketed event was made to enhance the fan experience by decreasing the line and wait times for the RED Lot and ensuring the safety of everyone in attendance,” the Flames said in a media release. “Tickets will remain free, but must be secured in advance, and will be available based on a strict capacity limit; those without tickets will not be permitted entrance to RED Lot under any circumstances and are asked not to come to the site.”
Tickets for the Game 7 viewing party will be made available — with a limit of two tickets per person — starting at 9 a.m. Sunday morning from https://www.nhl.com/flames/fans/fireitup. A Flames game ticket will not provide access to the Red Lot.
The Red Lot will open two hours prior to the scheduled 7:30 p.m. puck-drop.
“We understand that demand for RED Lot tickets will very likely outweigh supply, and would like to reiterate our tremendous gratitude for the extraordinary support of the C of Red,” the Flames offered in their statement. “Further updates will be provided through our social media channels.”
The Flames and Stars are tied 3-3 in their best-of-seven first-round NHL playoff series. Winner of Sunday night’s Game 7 advances to the second round.
Red Dress Day events meant to ‘open up the conversation’ about MMIWG | CBC News
Many communities across the country will be holding events today for the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), also called Red Dress Day.
As part of the campaign, red dresses are hung to symbolize the many Indigenous women victimized by violence who are murdered and missing.
In Greater Sudbury, a permanent sculpture will be unveiled at the N’Swakamok Native Friendship Centre.
Executive Director Marie Meawasige said having the artwork on a busy downtown street will help spark conversation and awareness about murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls.
“I’m sure a lot of people don’t know about this, so I’m sure we’ll get more questions on it from the community,” she said.
The piece was created by M’Chigeeng First Nation artist Kathryn Corbiere. It was commissioned by the N’Swakamok Native Friendship Centre and the Greater Sudbury Police Services, and was paid for through a grant from the federal government.
“It’s just an awareness that Indigenous women are among a lot of women that are murdered and missing in Canada,” Meawasige said.
The Timmins Native Friendship Centre will hold a sacred fire ceremony to mark Red Dress Day.
Healing and wellness coordinator, Jaylin Renaud said there will also be canvas available for participants to put red hand prints on. Those will then be hung throughout the friendship centre as artwork.
“So that it continues to bring that conversation and dialogue with everyone that comes in the building,” she said.
This will be the first in-person Red Dress Day for the Timmins Friendship Centre, because of restrictions over the past two years during the pandemic.
Renaud said she hopes the event brings awareness, but that conversations continue well after May 5.
She adds she particularly wants people to remember the Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls.
“I always keep in the back of my mind hope and try to continue to spread that message and provide the community with support, whatever that may look like at a local level.”
The REDress Project began more than a decade ago as an art installation by Métis artist Jaime Black. It featured a series of red dresses representing missing women who were victims of violence. Red Dress Day is now held annually to commemorate murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls.
Laurentian University began its own version of Red Dress Day in 2016. Red dresses are hung along the roads within the post secondary school’s campus.
“It opens up the conversation to talk about the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and to just open the conversation and create that awareness that this is happening, this has happened and it continues to happen,” said Susan Manitowabi, interim associate vice president Academic and Indigenous Programs.
She said the campaign is personal for her because of the women she knew who’ve gone missing or are believed to have been murdered.
“For a lot of people we’ve got those close associations with somebody, that makes it really important because we’re very connected to our families and communities and when something happens in our community we feel it.”
Manitowabi said Laurentian holds its Red Dress Day event in February for several reasons. February is heart month and is associated with the colour red. Plus students can participate in the campaign because they are still on campus.
But to mark the May 5 Red Dress Day, Laurentian is launching a collaboration with Cambrian College and Collège Boréal. The three schools will be seeking donations of red dresses. Each school will have its own drop off points.
“These red dresses will be used on each of their individual campuses when they do their own celebration for the Red Dress campaign,” Manitowabi said.
“The more that we can bring awareness to [missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls] the better we’re able to address this and hopefully prevent this from happening again.”
Multiple Events Taking Place in Terrace Tomorrow in Honour of Red Dress Day
Tomorrow is Red Dress Day, and residents of the Terrace area have a few ways to honour the day.
There will be three events taking place in Terrace, each hosted by the Tears to Hope Society.
In the morning, individuals can meet at the Chill Soda Shop at 8:00 to take part in the Red Dress Run.
A walk will also be held in the evening, beginning at 6:30, with participants also meeting at the Chill Soda Shop.
In addition, there will be a Hidden Red Dress display event running throughout the day, which will see red dresses hidden around Terrace, along with a message of hope and action.
Red Dress Day is held annually on May 5th to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and to educate people on the crisis.

Three big events may be coming to Red Deer over next two years
The $95,000, intended to further the development and diversification of the events, are to be distributed as follows:
- $20,000: 2022 Canadian Men’s Senior Golf Championship
- $25,000: 2022 Red Deer International Powwow
- $50,000: Canadian International Air Race Championship
“Events like these serve to develop a strong local connection to events, illustrate what Red Deer can offer, support the recovery of hard-hit industries, and showcases the strong volunteer leadership local citizens offer to events,” said Mayor Ken Johnston.
The Canadian Men’s Senior Golf Championship is set to take place from Sept. 5-9, 2022, with over 160 players from across Canada and internationally and attract 500-700 spectators. Requesting $20,000, the event is sanctioned by Golf Canada and to be promoted through their marketing channels. The Red Deer Golf and Country Club will host the event and will also celebrate its 100th anniversary at the same time. The event is expected to bring in over $387,000 to the local economy.
The International Red Deer Powwow, scheduled for Oct. 21-23, 2022, initially requested $60,000. With over 1,000 participants involved and an estimated 5,000 or more spectators, the event is expected to bring in $2.5 million. Their second international event in Red Deer is aimed to honor Indigenous languages and offer an educational experience to Central Albertans on Indigenous Culture, Arts and Truth & Reconciliation. Hosted at the Peavey Mart Centrium, the event will consist of traditional powwow activities like drumming, with singers and dancers from across North America. There will also be a trade show and a youth conference.
The Canadian International Air Race Championship is said to be an internationally world-class aviation festival for three days in July 2023. Requesting $50,000, it is expected to impact the city the most, bringing in $91.7 million, with over 200 teams involved and 30,000 spectators per day. The event aims to address industry skill shortages by engaging youth in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education, particularly in aviation.
“We are glad to support these events as they showcase our community on the national and international stage,” said Mayor Johnston. “These events highlight some early successes of our Major Event Strategy and Destination Development Framework (MESDDF) in bringing diverse events of all sizes to our community, celebrating sport, festival and culture.”
The MESDDF was approved by city council in April 2021 to position Red Deer as a “premier tourism and event destination in Canada”, according to council’s meeting agenda.
Rene Rondeau, Executive Director of Tourism Red Deer, supported the funding, echoing similar reasons as the mayor, in a letter to council.
The City’s Event Hosting & Outgoing Event Sponsorship Fund was established in 2020 to support events in Red Deer. It has supported past events such as the Canadian Finals Rodeo, Pickleball Canada National Championship, Men’s AAA National Championship and the WHL Cup.
Applications for funding are made through The City’s MyEvents portal. Prior to the three requests, the remaining funds totaled $166,100 for event sponsorship and $70,000 for activation funds.
