The Northwest Metis Council(NWMC) is getting ready for Red Dress Day on Friday, which is also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People on Friday.
To help others get ready to spread awareness on Friday, the NWMC is hosting an Art Night at the Metis Community Centre from 4 to 6 tomorrow afternoon.
Tammy Chief, the Gender-Based Violence Project Coordinator for the NWMC says it's an opportunity to bring people together.
"We want children, youth families, Dauphin residents, and outlying communities, to come and join us as a part of reconciliation. Come and join us and then that way they can create those artworks, and bring them back and display them proudly on Friday, May the fifth."
Chief says they'll be making red dress pins, faceless dolls, and paper red dresses at the event.
