Today is Moosehide Campaign Day
The Moose Hide Campaign is a Canadian campaign led by Indigenous men and boys aimed at ending violence against women and children.
It is a movement where people, especially men and boys, promise to stand up against violence towards women and children, which is a huge issue in our society.
Everyone wears a little square of moose hide, a symbol of commitment to respect and protection, as a reminder of that promise. The campaign also emphasizes the importance of engaging men in addressing violence and working towards reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. While men are encouraged to participate, the campaign welcomes all genders and encourages anyone to wear the pin and participate in events.

Track and Field:
If you are going to Spectrum for transition, remember to get yourself up at UVic for 3:45.
Sign up needs to be done by NB today as Mr Brown is making the name tags. You need to preferably find your own ride.
Also, if you do not have a jersey, see Mr Brown in room 129 so you can sign one out.
Remember that before you leave the track, you need to check in with Ms Zaza who will be sitting by the Colquitz sign. It is really important so that she doesn’t keep looking for you after the Meet is done.
If you are practicing the relay, remember it does not get timed. You are on your own for organizing your group and staying later after the 100m races are done.
Good luck athletes!!!!
