Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People.

Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people face disproportionate amounts of violence, and have been continually failed by systems that are meant to keep people safe. We stand with our Indigenous members and their communities and continue to demand justice.

On National Day of Mourning, we remember workers who were killed, injured, or have fallen ill from their job.

AAPS is committed to fighting for health and safety in the workplace. Every worker deserves to go home safe at the end of the day.

Across Canada on February 14, communities will hold a Women’s Memorial March to honour the lives of missing & murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people.

Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people continue to face disproportionate amounts of violence, and have been continually failed by systems in place that are meant to keep people safe. We stand with our Indigenous members and their communities and will continue to demand justice.

Black History Month starts on February 1st. This is a time to honour the achievements and legacy of Black people and their communities, and to reflect on the history and present of anti-Black racism that is deeply rooted in our society.

We encourage you to reflect on this history, how Black people and their communities have shaped our world, and how you can ensure that racism and discrimination have no place in your workplace or this world. #BlackHistoryMonth
