Halee Sturgeon of Harmony House, Kyla-Rae Laferdy of Phoenix Transition Society, and Tanvi Guhagarkar of the Northern Women’s Centre joined us in conversation at CFURadio studios ahead of the Take Back The Night march taking place this Friday September 20th.
For the first time in our community, men are explicitly encouraged to become informed and get involved in the event. Listen to our conversation and learn more about this important decision and the challenges the change-makers in our community are addressing daily with their work, and passionate advocacy advancing the health, safety, and autonomy of women.
This 33rd Annual Take Back the Night march is an event to honor the memory of the women who have not survived violence; to celebrate those who have; and to demand an end to all forms of violence against women. We can and should be able to walk down the streets of our city safely and on our own.
The event kicks of at 6:30 pm at the Canada Games Plaza down town Prince George in front of the Civic Centre. An 8:30pm wrap up Open-Mic event will be held on UNBC campus at the Thirsty Moose Pub after the March concludes.
