1st Annual Blue Jean Jacket Day!
On June 6, Piwapan Wellness Centre hosted it’s 1st Annual Blue Jean Jacket Day by participating in an awareness walk to honour our Missing, Murdered and Exploited Indigenous Men and Boys.
Blue Jean Jacket Day was launched for the first time in Edmonton on June 6, 2023 and raises awareness about missing and murdered Indigenous men and boys. It is meant to serve as a counterpart to Red Dress Day, which takes place on May 5.
We would like to thank the following people and/or organizations as this day could not have gone as planned without their help: Piwapan Wellness Centre Staff, NorthSask Victim Services, Lac La Ronge Indian Band and it’s Health Services – Cultural Department, La Ronge RCMP, Fire Department and EMS, Northern Boyz Drum Group, Elder Carson Poitras and all the people who participated in our walk.
