We are excited to announce Elaine as the first Keynote Speaker for Moose Hide Campaign Day!

The Moose Hide Campaign began as a BC-born Indigenous-led grassroots movement to engage men and boys in ending violence towards women and children. It has since grown into a nationwide movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians from local communities, First Nations, governments, schools, colleges/universities, police forces and many other organizations – all committed to taking action to end this violence.

Join the Moose Hide Campaign on May 15 for a day of ceremony – where all Canadians are being called to take a stand against violence towards women, children, and all those along the gender continuum.
