Rock Your Mocs Week 2026

November 13, 2026

Celebrate Indigenous Pride, Culture, and Identity

Every year, Rock Your Mocs Week brings together Indigenous peoples and allies from across North America and around the world to celebrate Indigenous pride, culture, and identity. It’s an opportunity to honour traditions, share stories, and strengthen connections within our communities.

One of the simplest and most meaningful ways to participate is by wearing moccasins or other traditional cultural items. These items carry personal, family, and cultural significance, and wearing them proudly helps promote cultural awareness while celebrating Indigenous heritage.

Join the Celebration at RRC Polytech

We’re inviting students and staff to take part in Rock Your Mocs Week 2026 by wearing their moccasins to school or work throughout the week.

Share a photo and win a prize!
Send a photo of yourself rocking your mocs to smcivor@rrc.ca and you’ll be entered into a prize draw.
