BCLC

Today, our Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging team, Executive leaders, B.C. government leaders, and many other Crowns gathered to kick off the Moose Hide Campaign—a nationwide movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians united in taking action to end violence against women and children. Nearly 200 employees joined the virtual event, supported by the Crown Agencies Secretariat, B.C. Government, and the all-Crowns DI&B Dialogue Network. This event provided a space to connect, share experiences, and raise awareness about gender-based violence. ‘I envision a future where violence against women and children is eliminated and where women, girls, gender-diverse individuals and children can live fulfilling and safe lives that they choose. For me, Moose Hide campaign is also about empowering men and boys to honour, respect, and uplift women and children.’ Patrick Davis, President and CEO of BCLC. The simplest way to participate in the campaign is to wear the moose hide pin. This gesture demonstrates your commitment to honoring, respecting, and protecting the women and children in your life and opposing gender-based and domestic violence. #MooseHideCampaignDay
