CFUW Orillia was honoured to partner with other community organizations, including Green Haven Women’s Shelter, the OPP, Dress for Success, and the Elizabeth Fry Society, to host the December 6 Walk of Remembrance and Candlelight Vigil. In spite of the extreme winter weather conditions the walk allowed us to share our memories of December 6, 1989. The Candlelight Vigil was a moving tribute to all those who have been victims of Gender Based Violence. Thank you to our spokesperson Kathy Rippey and to Maggie Buchanan who assisted with the event co-ordination. Read the Orillia Matters article here.
