Is your trip to the convenience store feeling a bit more expensive lately? Wait, chocolate bars cost how much now?! No, you're not just imagining it. Things are getting more expensive. Inflation is the general and ongoing increase in the price of goods and services. We use something called the inflation rate to measure how much those prices change over time. While it's normal for prices to go up, in the last few years since the COVID-19 pandemic, the jump has been much bigger than Canadians are used to. When things cost more money, you might feel more pressure to make every dollar count. So, how do you manage your money to get the most out of it? Are you a spender? A saver? How do you balance the two? Share your thoughts with CBC Kids News. Want to know more before you answer? Click play to learn more about the three main causes of inflation using a chocolate bar.

Singing for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls at Killarney Lake
Social Sharing This is part of a series called Ann's Eye, featuring the work of Ann Paul, a Wolastoqey content creator. You can see more Ann's Eye pieces by clicking here. There can be many different feelings about and perspectives on Red Dress Day, says Ann Paul. Recognized every year on May 5, Red Dress Day is a day to grieve and honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit+ people (MMIWG2S+). The final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls considers violence against Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people to be genocide. Red Dress Day started in 2010, when Métis artist Jamie Black hung hundreds of red dresses to honour MMIWG2S+. WATCH | Whether it's joy or sadness, all Red Dress Day feelings are valid, says organizer: Ann's Eye: Honouring Red Dress Day at Killarney Lake 11 minutes ago Duration 1:30 The Under One Sky Friendship Centre in Fredericton organized a memorial walk at Killarney Lake for Red Dress Day, a national day of remembrance and awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people. Many communities mark the day with marches, healing circles, sacred fires and prayer. Most dress in red — a sacred colour, Ann says — and some paint red handprints over their mouths, a symbol of those lost lives and unheard voices. To others, including Ann, the symbol is a reminder of grief and trauma, and can be discomforting to see. "Once we take that hand off their mouths, we're giving their voices back," she said. "But I understand that everyone has different perspectives." Red Dress Day itself should also go beyond one-time, performative actions, Ann said, and promote year-long education and awareness. Ann joined members of Under One Sky Friendship Centre for a Red Dress Day memorial walk around Killarney Lake. Scroll through the photos and watch the video to see more.
