About the Campaign
The Moose Hide 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.
Throughout the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, teams from across the College will be present on campuses sharing information and inviting participants to show a sign of their commitment to ending gender-based violence by accepting and wearing a moose hide pin and sharing what they have learned with others.

If you are experiencing any form of sexual or gender-based violence, resources are available from Centennial College at Sexual Violence and Sexual Misconduct Information and Support.
