Here’s the latest I could gather on the Moose Hide Campaign Development Society, based on publicly available updates.
Key recent items
- Right of Passage Ceremony and leadership update: The campaign recently held a Right of Passage ceremony honoring longtime contributor David Stevenson and announcing Raven Lacerte in a transition to Executive Director [sources indicate the event and leadership change were highlighted in 2025 updates] [source 1].
- Humber College/Humber Polytechnic as Ambassador Campus: A plaque ceremony recognized Humber’s Indigenous Education and Engagement team and students as part of the Campaign’s ambassador campus initiatives [source 2].
- Community and national reach: The campaign has ongoing efforts to expand programs for men and boys, develop a national resource tool, and partner with communities to broaden participation; these themes appear in multiple (2023–2025) program summaries and external funding summaries [sources 3, 6].
Context and related activities
- National and regional recognition: The Moose Hide Campaign continues to be active across Canada, including provincial government acknowledgments and events such as Moose Hide Campaign Day in various jurisdictions; this broad support framework is reflected in both government releases and campaign communications [sources 5, 8, 10].
- Funding and expansion: There have been funding initiatives with foundations (e.g., McConnell Foundation) and government bodies to widen reach, create community grants, and host national gatherings for leaders and funders; these indicate a strategic push to engage more communities and scale impact [sources 3, 5].
What this means
- The campaign remains active with leadership transitions, campus ambassador programs, and ongoing expansion efforts focused on engaging men and boys, reducing violence against women and girls, and aligning with reconciliation objectives.
- Public-facing updates emphasize ceremonies, leadership roles, and institutional partnerships as pillars of growth.
Would you like me to:
- pull more current updates from the campaign’s site or social channels, or
- summarize specific programs (e.g., ambassador campus work, youth education, and community grants) with concrete dates and outcomes?
