November is

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

All month long we will be sharing info, stats, resources and more about domestic violence.

This November we are encouraging community members to take part in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, beginning Nov. 25.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign that kicks off on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and ends on December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The campaign provides an opportunity to reflect on what we can do in our own classrooms, communities, and lives to eliminate the disproportionate violence faced by women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual plus) individuals. Here are some ideas and tools to inspire you, your community, your workplace, and your classroom to join the conversation and take action to end gender-based violence during the 16 Days Campaign and throughout the year.

Join us on Tuesday, December 6, at the Spirit Square at 12 pm with drumming, speakers, a remembrance of the 14 victims from Quebec and information booths for people to collect relevant information on local resources. We look forward to creating an event that represents all that are affected by honoring, bringing awareness and creating change for victims of Gender-based Violence.

December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. This day marks the anniversary of the shooting rampage in 1989, at the Universite du Montreal's Ecole polytechnique in which 14 women were killed. They died because they were women.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus have released a new "symphonic edition" of their massive, multi-platinum 2006 hit "Face Down." A music video for the reimagined version of the song — which poignantly addresses the topic of domestic violence — is out now!

Face Down (Symphonic Edition) is a stirring, emotional follow-up to the original hit, both timeless and scathing indictments of domestic violence and its devastating impacts.

A Message from the Executive Director

November has been a busy month for us. We continue to be busy in all our programs doing what we love which is helping vulnerable women and children. November is an important month because it is Domestic Violence Awareness month. We have been running some great fundraisers campaigns such as the 16 Days of Activism and the Win for Women 50/50 draw the past few months to help us fill in the fundraising gap, to be able to keep doing what we love and help women and children. We are getting excited here for one of our biggest fundraisers, CNOY, registration opens December 1st.

We thank all our supporters for their generous donations to the CR & NI Transition Society.

We have brought back our most popular women’s empowerment lunch group on Wednesdays from 12-2pm and it has been well attended. Community members are happy to have it back and we hope to add more support groups in the future. The activity workers at Rose Harbour have been busy creating activities for the women and children to bring back connection and a sense of community that was lost during the COVID pandemic.

Our drop in Women’s Center continues to be busy every day seeing anywhere from 20-40 women a day. The Women’s Center serves some of our most vulnerable women on the streets, by creating a safe, warm place for them to go.

I have been in my Executive Director role now for 5 months and have been learning a lot and enjoying my new role. I look forward to many more years doing this important work.
