On June 5, we invite you to join Sacred Steps at the The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland, to walk in honour of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Men and Boys.

June 6 (the following day) is Blue Jean Jacket Awareness Day, an annual grassroots movement dedicated to honouring and raising awareness for Missing, Murdered, and Exploited Indigenous Men and Boys (MMIMB). Started in Edmonton in 2023, the day encourages people to wear denim to bring visibility to the ongoing loss and violence affecting Indigenous men and boys.

It is a time to honour lives lost, stand alongside families and communities, and continue calling for awareness, justice, and action.

On May 14, we recognize Children and Youth in Care Day. This is an important opportunity to celebrate the strength, resilience, and voices of children and youth in and from care.

This year’s theme, Rising in Strength and Story, acknowledges that children and youth in care are not defined by the systems they must navigate. Instead, they are defined by their unique strengths, experiences, achievements, and perspectives.

At Enviros, one of our 9 Principles is Voice and Choice. Children and youth are encouraged to share their stories, advocate for themselves, and make meaningful choices about their lives. Another guiding principle, Individualized, reminds us that every child and youth deserves support that recognizes their unique journey, needs, and strengths.

Today, we honour the courage, growth, and potential of children and youth we are serving, and we remain committed to walking alongside them as they rise in strength and story.
