VANCOUVER, BC – BC Place’s Northern Lights Display will glow in orange for Moose Hide Campaign Day on May 11, headlining the stadium’s illumination schedule for May.
Moose Hide Campaign is an Indigenous-led grassroots movement that seeks to engage men and boys in ending violence towards women and children. This campaign is marked by the wearing of a moose hide pin in the weeks leading up to May 11, when the campaign and community groups host ceremonies nationally.

In addition, the stadium will be lighting for a number of community causes during the month, including for National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People on May 5, AccessAbility Week on May 29, and World MS Day on May 30. BC Place will also take part in the Canadian Heritage illumination initiative for the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, following the Vancouver Whitecaps FC match on May 6 and through the following evening.
