DESCRIPTION: On October 4th\, 2024 it was announced that the Province of 
 Manitoba and Government of Canada provided funding for the Red Dress Alert
  pilot. Gigananwenimaanaanig (through Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre) 
 received funding to help with outreach\, education\, and community 
 involvement. These groups helped to ensure that the program was 
 implemented with a focus on supporting affected families and building 
 trust with the Indigenous communities in Winnipeg. As part of the pilot\, 
 the Gigananwenimaanaanig Red Dress Project Team has hired a team to 
 coordinate consultations in urban and remote locations. There will be 6 
 consultations held in Winnipeg that include several sessions for impacted 
 families\, Indigenous Community\, service providers\, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ 
 folks. Join the consultation on February 27th\, from 11:00am to 1:00pm at 
 90 Sinclair St\, Winnipeg. Light lunch will be provided* Background: The 
 Red Dress Alert is a public safety initiative aimed at raising awareness 
 of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls\, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ 
 (MMIWG2S+) in Canada. It was inspired by the Red Dress Project\, to 
 highlight the disproportionate number of Indigenous women and girls who go
  missing or are murdered\, and to honor their lives. The Red Dress Alert\,
  similar to Amber Alerts\, notifies the public about missing Indigenous 
 women and girls\, urging national attention and public involvement in 
 locating them Accessibility accommodations are available on advance 
 request. If you have any questions\, concerns or inquiries\, please send 
 us an email at info@mansomanitoba.ca or call 204-272-0872.
