Assiniboine College's Parkland Campus and the Dauphin Friendship Centre are combining forces to put on Moose Hide Campaign Day events in the city.

Jerri Thompson from the Friendship Centre says it will take place on May 15th.

 "We are asking members of the public to gather at the Dauphin Friendship Centre starting at 1 pm.  Opening ceremonies will be at 1:30 with Elder Gail Welborne, and an honour song from the Maamawi Abing Mackenzie Middle School Drum group.  The walk will begin at around 2 pm.  It is a 45-minute walk, about 3 km or as far as you wish.  From 3 to 4 pm, there will be a community barbecue." 

Moose Hide campaign day brings recognition to efforts to stop violence against women and children.

Parkland Campus Director Carol Stewart says Assiniboine College is proud to be designated as a Moose Hide campaign ambassador campus.

"It means we pledge our commitment to reconciliation and addressing violence on campus.  As part of our vision, no woman should be made to feel to feel unsafe or experience abuse or violence on their college campus."

Both Stewart and Thompson hope everybody, especially men, boys, elders, families, community leaders and service providers, will join them for this event.
