Thanks to everyone who came out on Wednesday for our Open House! We had a fantastic time and we're still bowled over by all the love and support.
We feel incredibly lucky to live in a community like #Guelph!
Here's a bit of video footage from the evening. Enjoy!

72 Ontario municipalities have now declared intima

72 Ontario municipalities have now declared intimate partner violence an epidemic in this province. Next week, thanks to the tireless efforts of Councillor Dominique O'Rourke @orourke_ward6 Guelph could add its voice to the ranks.
Declaring intimate partner violence a provincial epidemic is the #1 recommendation of the Renfrew County Coroner's Jury Inquest into the femicides of Carol Culleton, Anastasia Kuzyk and Nathalie Warmerdam.
Thus far, the province has refused, but with rates of femicide climbing higher in this country, municipalities have been leading the charge to address gender-based violence and support survivors.
You can come out and show your support for this motion. Wear purple to the Council meeting for solidarity and help us change the world for the better!
Check out yesterday's article on the motion by @guelphtoday's Richard Vivian to learn more about the motion.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to commemorate all trans, two-spirit and gender-diverse people who have lost their lives to violence.
Trans Day of Remembrance started in 1999 as a way to honour the memories of Rita Hester and Chanelle Pickett, transgender women killed in transphobic acts of violence in Massachusetts.
For allies, this is an important day to step up and be present for our trans friends, family and community.
If you need support or someone to talk to on this day of mourning, there is help. You can reach out to our Crisis Line at 519-836-5710 or 1-800-265-7233.

We love #CommunityPartners like the Children’s R

We love #CommunityPartners like the Children’s Reading Room. Partners help us wrap more and more supports around #survivors and their children.
Here is Lisa Veber, co-founder of CRR, with early literacy resources in English and French and an assortment of books in several other languages. These will be a great addition to the books already at Marianne’s Place shelter.
Thanks for thinking of our clients and working with us to foster a better Guelph for everyone.

At G-W WiC, we offer a variety of psychoeducational, peer support and trauma-processing groups for survivors of gender-based violence, in addition to our one-on-one counselling.
Currently, we are offering "The More We Know" through our Transitional and Housing Support Program for #survivors of gender-based violence.
In addition, we are also offering "Finding Our Wings" through the Sexual Assault Centre for survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
We know that groups provide an opportunity for mutual support and empowerment. We see how groups can reduce social isolation and encourage feelings of safety and community.
Our groups provide the possibility for hope and healing.

It was all smiles when Rhianna Cote, the founder of Women in Craft, dropped by with $500 in proceeds from their October 22nd market.
Over 20 women artisans came together to make the market a fantastic shopping experience at Royal City Brewing. The makers generously donated wares to be bundled into special packages for sale. Half of the price of the incredible ‘Empowered Women Empower Women’ t-shirts, seen here, were donated. The proceeds of a special candle by Rhianna’s company, Vivien Graham Waxworks, came to us too. There was also a donation jar. A wonderful gift from a truly wonderful day!
Congratulations to Rhianna and the other makers on a great event and for making this donation. Mark your calendars, folks, there is another market on December 10th. Give them a follow @women.in.craft.

We get a lot of blankets donated and it’s amazin

We get a lot of blankets donated and it’s amazing. We have crocheted afghans made by church groups, quilted baby blankets, and store-bought new duvets that will keep our clients warm as they transition to new living situations. Same with bed sheets.
We try to provide our clients with everything they need, with the help of these wonderful community donations.
What we lack is staff power to measure the blankets and label them with the sizes, and also to sort the bedding into conveniently labelled bags that can be easily handed out. Our storage areas can get a bit messy. Okay, more than a bit messy – we confess.
Enter the SUPERHEROES from Co-operators!!!
These 5 hardworking women, shown here modelling our ‘Smash the Patriarchy’ argyle socks, spent the day working hard to bring order to our chaos. Their work will enable us to fulfill our clients needs faster and better.
Thanks for choosing to spend your day in service of Women in Crisis! A huge shout-out to Wendy, Colleen, Vanessa, Adrianne and Sandra – you were an incredible gift.

Join us for an Open House on November 22nd from 5-7pm!
We’re opening our doors and inviting the community in to learn more about the impacts of gender-based violence in Guelph and Wellington County and about the work we do supporting survivors.
Guests will have a chance to tour our clinical spaces, speak with our staff about their work, try their hand at some knowledge and skill-building activities and mix and mingle in our Community Room.
Join us for wine, beer, light refreshments and good conversations about what we can do as a community to end gender-based violence.
Please send RSVPs to wiceducator@gwwomenincrisis.org by Nov. 10th.
Special thanks to our beverage sponsors, the Queen of Craft initiative of Wellington Brewery for the beer and The Neighbourhood Group for ‘Wine from the Hood’ (you may have tasted this at The Wooly, Miijidaa, Park Grocery or Borealis), and The Towne Winer. Special thanks also to the City of Guelph’s Community Grants fund.
