TORONTO, ONTARIO – Humber Polytechnic has joined the Moose Hide Campaign Flag Raising Initiative, a national movement to raise awareness and take action to end violence against women, children, and all those along the gender continuum.
On May 14, Humber raised the Moose Hide Campaign flag at its North and Lakeshore Campuses, to show its commitment to advancing safety, inclusion, and reconciliation.
“At Humber, fostering a culture of inclusion, belonging, and respect is central to who we are” said Ann Marie Vaughan, president and CEO, Humber Polytechnic. “Raising the Moose Hide Campaign flag is a powerful act of solidarity with Indigenous communities and all those affected by gender-based violence. It also serves as a call to action for all of us in the post-secondary sector to lead with courage, compassion, and a shared commitment to reconciliation and safety for everyone.”
The initiative supports the Moose Hide Campaign’s mission to engage men and boys in ending gender-based violence, while creating space for healing, accountability, and allyship. Institutions across Canada have been invited to participate and encourage others to do the same, building a national movement of awareness and change.
“Our involvement in the Moose Hide Campaign recognizes the need for meaningful action,” said Jason Seright, vice-president, Inclusion, Belonging & Student Experience, Humber Polytechnic. “This initiative is one of many ways we are living out our commitments to Truth and Reconciliation and working to end gender-based violence.”
More information on the Moose Hide Campaign can be found on the organization’s website.
