Several postsecondary institutions across Canada recognized Red Dress Day with special awareness events, ceremonies, and marches. Institutions such as the College of New Caledonia, Conrad Grebel University College, and Mount Royal University hosted art exhibits and hung red dresses and red prayer markers outside to raise awareness of the day. Brandon University, Laurie Middle School, Medicine Hat College, Mount Saint Vincent University, Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig, Surrey Schools, and the University of Waterloo were among those that hosted events such as memorial gatherings, rallies, talks, and drop-in spaces to honour and remember those who are missing or were murdered. Teachers in the Surrey Schools district (SD 36) shared informative slide decks and hosted age-appropriate discussions about the day.
