Today, Michael Parsa, Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, and Charmaine Williams, Associate Minister of Women's Social and Economic Opportunity, shared the following statement:
“We stand together across the country to mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action …on Violence Against Women. It is a solemn reminder of the day 35 years ago at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal, when 14 women were killed and 13 other people were injured.
The murder of these women was a crime that shook Canada. It endures in our national consciousness as a reminder of all victims and survivors, and our duty to stand against gender-based violence.
Our government has been very clear: we have zero tolerance for gender-based violence in any form. We are working with other levels of government, survivors and organizations that support them to help prevent and address gender-based violence and to hold offenders accountable through the justice system. We are making critical investments in violence prevention initiatives and a broad range of supports so that anyone affected by violence and exploitation receives the supports they need to heal and rebuild their lives.
As we mark this National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, let us continue to build a province where women and girls can live with dignity, free from intimidation and the threat of violence.”
If you or someone you know is affected by violence or in danger, visit ontario.ca/safe to learn about available resources and supports. Provincial helplines are free, accessible, confidential, and available 24 hours a day — no matter where you live in Ontario.
Locally, Domestic Abuse Resource Team will be hosting a candlelight vigil at 5:30pm at the courthouse @ 415 Hunter Street, Woodstock, where we are all invited to gather, honour, and reflect. #RememberDecember6

📣"Coats were distributed to families visiting our Community outreach program in Ingersoll on Thursday."
📣"I work with a kin family that is a single caregiver for a young child. I was able to provide both her and the child with new coats. The caregiver was so happy to receive a new coat and was so appreciative."
📣"We have a family in Woodstock who have experienced a challenging year. The children were extremely grateful for your generous gift of new coats."
📣"A single mom in Woodstock was struggling to purchase winter clothes for her children. When I arrived at her house with the new coats she continued to thank me with tears in her eyes. She wanted me to pass on her gratitude!"
Our sincere thanks to AMTB!!!
