Summary
This Manitoba bill adds Moose Hide Campaign Day to the province's official list of commemorated days. It sets the third Thursday of May as the annual date for this recognition. The Moose Hide Campaign is an Indigenous-led movement that encourages men and boys to stand against violence toward women, children, and gender-diverse people. The campaign is known for its moose hide pin, which people wear as a personal pledge to respect and protect women and children and to speak out against gender-based violence. The bill recognizes the campaign's work in promoting healing, education, and healthier relationships in communities across Canada. This bill was introduced to give official provincial recognition to an already well-known grassroots movement, raising its visibility and encouraging broader participation across Manitoba.
