Throughout this week, we are continuing to reflect on Red Dress Day, remembering the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ People. Let’s continue to honour the thousands of women taken and recognize the need for us all to listen, learn and advocate for justice and reconciliation. ![]()

It was in 2010, Métis artist Jaime Black-Morsette created the REDress Project as an art installation consisting of placing red dresses in public spaces as a call for justice for the missing. Now, 15 years later, Jaime is bringing together stories behind the project in a new anthology, which can be pre-ordered via www.jaimeblackartist.com/exhibitions/. ![]()

We are looking forward to reading REDress: Art, Action, and the Power of Presence, and adding it to our new DIVERSEcity staff resource library.![]()

Delta is growing and changing, becoming a more diverse community with the majority of population growth coming from immigration. The community’s social and economic needs are also evolving. The Delta LIP will serve as a place for community-serving organizations, immigrant settlement agencies, municipal organizations and local businesses to connect and collaborate at one table to advance priorities for a thriving community.![]()

“Delta is a dynamic, growing city with stunning natural beauty, a diversified business scene and a family-focused community,” says Neelam Sahota, CEO, DIVERSEcity and co-chair of Delta LIP. “A dedicated LIP is an important way to advance equity and improve the social wellbeing for newcomers and all Delta residents.”![]()
