SUMMARY:National Day of Awareness and Action for missing and murdered Indigenous women\, girls\, and gender diverse kin
DESCRIPTION:Today is May 5\, National Day of Awareness and Action for missing and murdered Indigenous women\, girls and gender diverse kin\, also known as #RedDressDay. \nToday we remember all of the lives and spirits of those who have been taken too soon\, we lend our thoughts and prayers for the victims of colonialism\, patriarchy and all of the oppressive forces\, institutions and policies that have and continue to inflict a genocide on Indigenous peoples. Women\, girls\, Two-Spirit and gender diverse people have been most impacted and today\, rather than reducing  each sacred life that has gone missing or been murdered to a statistic\, we do what we need to do to remember\, to name the perpetrators of this ongoing gender-based violence\, to honour their lives\, to take care of ourselves\, to march in solidarity\, to organize\, to be with loved ones\, to keep striving for justice\, equity and peace. We remember the families left searching for answers\, closure and justice. We remember the strength of our ancestors\, our families\, and we uplift the young ones inheriting this ever-evolving world.

SUMMARY:Provincial Learning Event - Plan with Seniors\, Not for Them
DESCRIPTION:Council of Senior Citizens’ Organizations of BC (COSCO BC): Plan with seniors\, not for them.  \nRegister now. \nWhat is COSCO?  You will learn about the roles COSCO plays in advancing the social and physical welfare of older adults in BC\, including advocacy\, education and campaigns\, together with its charitable arm – the COSCO Health and Wellness Institute – which offers free workshops across the province. Elder abuse has been selected as one of three major priorities for COSCO in 2022.  We are keen to explore with BC CRN how we can better work together to address this issue\, which intersects with key priorities around long term care standards\, integrated primary health care in our communities\, safe and accessible housing for seniors and income security\, free from frauds and scams\, among others.  Participants in the BC CRN Learning Event will become informed of COSCO goals\, membership and communications tools\, as well as how we reach out to diverse BC seniors with resource information about health and wellness.  Come to share ideas and insights in the presentation by Barb Mikulec\, 1st VP of COSCO BC. For more info see www.coscobc.ca \nBarb Mikulec has dedicated her expertise to seniors advocacy issues\, after a career teaching in Vancouver Schools.  She is on the executive of the National Pensioners Federation and builds links with the national level of seniors’ concerns about economic security\, affordable housing\, and wellness projects. Locally\, Barb serves on the Seniors Advocate Council of Advisors\, as well as the provincial Board of the BC Retired Teachers Association.  Her major commitment is to the COSCO Seniors Health and Wellness Institute\, Barb serves as President.  The Institute offers free workshops which have had over 50\,000 attendees since 2008.   www.seniorshelpingseniors.ca
