"These names are not just numbers - They are famil

"These names are not just numbers - They are family members, friends, community members whose lives were taken from them through violence. As we remember them today, I ask that we all come together to take meaningful action against hatred, oppression, and inequality in our community."

December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance an

December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women 🌹 On this day in 1989, 14 women were murdered at École Polytechnique Montréal for being women. Every year on December 6th, we take time to remember these women and the unacceptable violence that women face in Canada and across the world.

🕯 Today, we remember: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte, and Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz.

We take the time to talk about how gender-based violence impacts the lives of everyone around us and what can be done to ensure that everyone in our community can live a life free from abuse. At Green Haven Shelter for Women, we work to see a safer world for women and gender diverse individuals. 🌎 If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, please know that we are here to support you with your transition into a safe environment.

Meet the readers for our event with @dressforsucce

Meet the readers for our event with @dressforsuccessorilliabarrie, A Reading of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, taking place at @stpaulsorillia on December 16th 🎄

@adamchambersmp, MP of Simcoe North, will be reading the third stave of A Christmas Carol. In this stave, Scrooge is guided by the Ghost of Christmas Present to view the Christmas celebrations of people in the present day. He visits the streets of London, his clerk Bob Cratchit and his family, miners, shipmates, and his nephew's house.

We're excited to hear MP Chambers bring this stave to life!

We cannot thank @therindandtruckle and @studio11or

We cannot thank @therindandtruckle and @studio11orillia enough for their incredible support throughout the month of November. They have helped us to make this year's Wrapped in Courage campaign a complete success and it could not have run smoothly without your support!

With December here, any remaining scarves will be returning to Green Haven Shelter for Women. This is the last weekend that they will be in the stores. Head #DowntownOrillia today to grab a purple scarf and to start doing some holiday shopping at The Rind and Truckle and Studio 11!

Scarves will still be on sale at https://greenhavenshelter.com/shop/ (🔗 in bio) while supplies last!
