Take Back
the Night March
September 2018
This coming year (2018) will be our 8th year for the Take Back the Night walk (with a reception to follow). Once again this year, we will have speakers who will share their thoughts and their plans for ending Violence Against Women.
We hope you can join us to raise awareness and educate the public on Violence Against Women with special attention on survivors of Sexual Assault.

Our march/walk was well attended in previous years and we expect 2018 to be a great community event, as well. Every resident of Charlotte County, woman, man or child, should be free to walk about our community without fear of violence. Our streets and our homes should be safe places for all of us. We believe that violence can be stopped and are committed to making that happen.
National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada 2018
December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. This day marks the anniversary of the murders in 1989 of 14 young women at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal. They were attacked and died because they were women.
We will be meeting on December 6th at NBCC (New Brunswick Community College) in St. Andrews. The Charlotte County Abuse Prevention Network and Wesley United Church will host an event to honour the lives that ended too soon and commit to ending violence in our communities. For details, please call 469-5544.
Please join us.
A day to celebrate the accomplishments of women everywhere! In our own community and around the world women are making a difference, making discoveries, changing diapers, changing governments, challenging media, championing other women, helping elders, guiding children, demanding more of science and medicine, standing up for good traditions and old wisdom, calling down cruel, horrible practices, defying those who would harm the vulnerable, dressing up for V-Day dancing and dressing down those who would put us "in our place", flying to the stars, finding joy, fighting for equality and protecting the planet. No wonder we get tired sometimes ... lol
We try to take a break on International Women's Day and have coffee (or juice or water) and maybe something sweet (cake!). Mostly, we try to take a few moments to meet with you and chat. In 2016, we plan to have a coffee break sponsored by Charlotte County Abuse Prevention Network (CCAPN). Call us at 469-5544 if you would like to attend or help with an event in 2016.

As a member of CCAPN (Charlotte County Abuse Prevention Network), Outreach Services will be helping to host events during Victims and Survivors of Crime Week.
A free evening event is planned for the public on Monday, May 29th, at 7 pm, where Dr. Hammond will present insights into fostering resiliency.
A full-day workshop will run on Tuesday, May 30th, for those who work in the helping professions, such as care-givers or those who work with vulnerable populations such as youth, the elderly, disabled persons, etc. This workshop will be helpful to crisis and support workers, nurses, other medical professionals, teaching staff and others who have an interest in giving our clients better care.
