Taking place in recognition of Red Dress Day and the National Day of Awareness for MMIWG2S+ on May 5, this interactive installation at the library's Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Legacy Space invites the community to contribute pieces of red fabric, yarn, beading, or other textiles to help create a large collective red dress. All are welcome to participate, and materials will also be provided on site for those who wish to contribute in the moment. The week will begin with an opening ceremony and smudge with drumming at noon on April 28, with daily smudges taking place at 10 a.m. from April 29 through May 5 as the installation continues. This project has been developed in partnership with Niijkiwendidaa Anishnaabekwewag Services Circle and the Nogojiwanong Friendship Centre. The library is open from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on weekends.
