During the week of May 2-8 red dresses could be seen hanging in the trees along the Hwy through Bon Accord.
Each year the spirits of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people are honoured on 5 May- Red Dress Day. Red Dress Day is to create awareness and to encourage people to take action for change. It was Metis artist Jaime Black who helped to inspire the red dress movement. Black chose red as she was told it was the only colour spirits cans see and using it as a way of calling the spirits back to their loved ones. – Lucie Roy Photo

The Bike Safety Clinic was held in the Legal arena for students in grades K – 6 from Legal School and Ecole Citadel. Facilitating the clinic were four members from Sturgeon County’s bylaw enforcement, 1 RCMP officer, and 3 members from Alberta Health Services. The free bicycle safety clinic was a great value to kids in the community and Legal was happy to be able to bring it back this year. – Submitted Photos
