Salmon Arm Secondary

The Moose Hide Campaign began as a BC-born Indigenous-led grassroots movement to engage men and boys in ending violence towards women and children.  It has since grown into a nationwide movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians from local communities, First Nations, governments, schools, colleges/universities, police forces and many other organizations – all committed to taking action to end this violence.  The campaign is grounded in Indigenous ceremony and traditional ways of learning and healing.

A cornerstone of the Moose Hide Campaign is the moose hide pin. Wearing the pin signifies your commitment to honour, respect, and protect the women and children in your life and speak out against gender-based and domestic violence.

$20 – purchased in the SAS office.

Funds go toward the 2024 SAS Dry Grad.

2025 will be the year you will be asked to step up and volunteer for a significant milestone in your child’s life.  Our children are growing up fast, graduating and moving on to the next chapter in their lives.  This will be one of the last school functions as parents you will be involved in.  😊

The 2024 Dry Grad Committee has volunteer positions they are looking to fill with interested Grade 11 parents to “shadow”, so you will know how things work for next year.
