2025 Wear Red Gala-entines Day

Gala-entine's Day is back for its second year, and you're invited! Friendships are good for the soul—and heart! Learn how to protect the women in your life by understanding the unique risk factors that face women’s hearts at every age and stage of life, because #HerHeartMatters.

On Feb. 13, people across Canada will wear red to raise awareness about women’s heart health. Wearing a bit of red (or more!) is encouraged but not mandatory. Recommended dress for this event is business/semi-formal.

This event is for anyone who identifies as a woman, and anyone who loves women! Sex and gender both play a role in the health inequities facing women. Other factors, such as race, ability, sexual orientation, education, income — and more — intersect to compound the complexities of women's health overall.

This event is made possible with support from the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation, Alberta Women's Health Foundation, and the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation.
