Communities across Canada are recognizing Moose Hide Campaign Day on May 14.
The Moose Hide Campaign is an Indigenous‑led initiative that began in British Columbia and focuses on engaging men and boys in efforts to end violence against women and children.
Over time, the campaign has grown into a national movement, bringing together Canadians committed to addressing gender‑based and domestic violence.
At the centre of the campaign is the moose hide pin — a small square of moose hide offered as a medicine for a social illness impacting all Canadians.
The pin serves as a symbol of solidarity in standing up against violence toward women and children, and particularly Indigenous women and children.
The Peace River Regional District says it recognizes its role in supporting safe and inclusive communities where individuals are valued and protected from violence.
Residents are encouraged to learn more about the Moose Hide Campaign and to consider donating or wearing a moose hide pin as a visible sign of commitment to ending gender‑based violence.
While the initiative was originally created to engage men and boys, the campaign says it is a movement for everyone.
