Wawa residents march to "Take Back The Night" this evening.
Local women's shelter CHADWIC Home is inviting the community to march in solidarity with survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence in a continued effort to end it.
Participants are encouraged to meet at Lion's Beach by 6 this evening, then march to the Legion Hall, where there will be an evening of live music, speakers, and informational displays, as well as time and a safe, inclusive space for those who wish to speak and share - along with refreshments and door prizes - followed by a candle light vigil to honour the past years' victims of "femicide".
Those who are - or know someone who is - experiencing abuse can contact CHADWIC Home 24 hours a day, seven days a week for support, shelter, or referrals by calling 1-800-461-2242.
