Everyone is welcome to join us at the Moose Hide Campaign Community Event at McMaster University in Hamilton! Hosted by the Circle of Indigenous Social Work Action (CISWA) on May 14, 2026, in recognition of the Campaign’s National Day of Ceremony!
(Please use the QR code on the poster to register!)
Our phenomenal Principal Investigator, Dr. Randy Jackson, will be presenting on the panel!
The Moose Hide Campaign is a grassroots, Indigenous-led movement that engages men and boys in taking a stand to end violence against women, children, and gender-diverse people. This gathering offers an opportunity for our campus and broader community to come together in solidarity, reflection, and action against gender-based violence.
The day will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Community Room (L.R. Wilson Building), where participants will join a live-streamed Opening Plenary from Toronto. This will be followed by a panel of Indigenous men who will share how they are leading with love, respect, and accountability in their personal commitment to ending gender-based violence.
Throughout the day, moose hide pins will be distributed across campus. These pins symbolize personal commitment and serve as catalysts for meaningful conversations.
Following the panel, participants are invited to join a campus walk to raise awareness. The walk will begin at 12:00 p.m., with a rally outside of L.R. Wilson Hall, followed by a walk across campus.
Members of the university and broader community are encouraged to attend and to bring drums, family, friends, and colleagues!
The event will conclude with a shared lunch and an arts-based activity in the Ceremonial Room, creating space for connection, reflection, and creative expression.
Registration is required to support planning for food and materials. Please see the attached poster for additional details.
We hope you will join us in this important day of ceremony, learning, and collective action!
