Outdoor Learning Conference 2026

Join Mi’kmaw storyteller Julie Pellissier-Lush and educator Julie Gagnon, co-authors of The Little Red Dress, for a moving 75-minute interactive workshop inspired by this trilingual album (French, Mi’kmaw, English).


Through story, poetry, and song, participants are invited to explore the powerful symbolism of the red dresses that hang across Canada, reminders of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people. The experience blends Mi’kmaw and Acadian perspectives, opening a space for reflection, empathy, and dialogue.


Participants will also discover how students from École Saint-Augustin became agents of change through a collaborative red dress quilt project that linked social justice and environmental care.


More than a workshop, The Little Red Dress is an invitation to remember, to act, and to build a more compassionate and just world, one story at a time.
