On May 5, we honour Red Dress Day, a National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people across Turtle Island.

Red Dress Day was inspired by Métis artist Jaime Black and the REDress Project, where empty red dresses were displayed to represent the Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people who are missing or have been taken from their loved ones. Since then, the red dress has become a powerful symbol of remembrance, grief, love, and the call for justice.

Today, we encourage our community to listen, learn, wear red, attend local events, and amplify Indigenous voices. Together, we remember, honour, and stand with Indigenous families and communities.

Proud of our youth at the Golden Boy Tournament.

Our girls showed heart in every match, keeping games close and competitive. Our boys brought home gold in their division, a strong result built on teamwork and focus.

Thank you to our coaches for their time and commitment, to staff who came out to support, and to parents and community members who cheered from the sidelines. Most of all, to our players for showing up, giving their best, and representing our community so well.

From weekly drop-in soccer to two dedicated teams, our youth are showing up, building skills, and playing with heart. With indoor season finals around the corner, the energy is high and the focus is real.

What makes this even more meaningful is access. Through support from the Government of Manitoba’s Province of Manitoba – From the Ground Up Program, our athletes are able to participate without barriers. That means more young people getting the chance to play, grow, and feel part of something bigger.

Books, coding, and curiosity all in one space.

Through weekly literacy programs at both sites, children are building strong foundations in reading, numeracy, and STEM. From welcoming guest readers from Millennium Library to hands-on coding sessions with WiseKidnetics, every experience is designed to spark confidence and a love for learning.

We’re grateful to the Canada Post Community Foundation for supporting this work and helping us create meaningful learning opportunities for children in our community.

Through our BHM event and weekly youth programs, young people are building confidence, learning self care, and stepping into spaces where they feel they belong. From meaningful conversations to shared experiences and outings, it’s all about growth, connection, and community.

This is what it looks like when youth are supported, empowered, and given the space to thrive.

Earth is home for all of us. It’s where new beginnings happen, where cultures connect, and where communities grow stronger together.

This Earth Day, let’s take a moment to care for the place we share. Small, thoughtful choices today can create a healthier, more welcoming future for everyone.

At IRCOM, we believe that building community also means caring for the environment around us.

Cold City, Warm Hearts is an annual partnership between IRCOM and Rossbrook House, where children from both organizations come together at FortWhyte Alive to learn, explore, and spend time together as neighbours in the community.

This day is about more than just a field trip. It’s about building connections, creating a sense of belonging, and giving children the opportunity to experience something new alongside other kids in their community.

Thank you to Rossbrook House and to the staff and volunteers at FortWhyte Alive for your time, care, and continued partnership in making this day possible. Opportunities like this are made possible by collaboration, and we are grateful to share this experience together each year.

Parenting Program is a space where families come together to learn, share, and support one another. For many parents, it is also a place to build connections and feel a sense of community.

One parent shared that the Parenting Program gives them something to look forward to each week because they feel welcomed and supported here. Moments like these show how important community and connection are for families.

A big thank you to Bliss Gourmet Bakery for generously donating a beautiful cake for our families. The sweet treat made the day extra special and brought many smiles to the program.

We are grateful for the community partners who help create these moments of joy and connection for the families we serve.

March 21 is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a time to reflect, listen, and stand together.

At IRCOM, we believe community starts with belonging. It means creating spaces where people from all backgrounds feel respected, supported, and safe to be themselves.

One tenant shared that IRCOM programs helped them feel less alone after coming to Canada. Connecting with other newcomer families made them feel understood and supported. They shared that back home, they did not have programs where people from different backgrounds could come together in this way. Through IRCOM, they were able to build friendships, share experiences, and learn from others. That sense of connection helped ease feelings of sadness and isolation and made them feel more at home in their community.

That is what this day is really about. When people feel seen, welcomed, and valued, stronger communities grow.

Let’s keep working toward a future rooted in respect, equity, and dignity for all.
