Repost from our friends at @archguelph 100 Candles

Repost from our friends at @archguelph 100 Candles for World AIDS Day.

December 1st is World AIDS Day. ARCH invites you to join us in honouring the light of those we have lost. We grieve and remember those who have touched our hearts and impacted our community.

There will be an outdoor memorial display of candles located outside the ARCH office (77 Westmount) on Wednesday, December 1st from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. You are welcome to come and light a candle, share a moment of silence or share a memory with those who are in attendance.

There will be hot beverages and cookies available outside. There will also be a space inside to share space, connect and reflect.

If you are unable to attend but still wish to have a candlelit in honour of friends or family, you are more than welcome to email Sarah at manager@archguelph.ca

We will ensure a candle is lit on your behalf.

You can register at eventbrite (link in bio) or feel free to drop in to this event.

*****
Accessibility:
-The ARCH office is an accessible space. An accessible washroom is located directly outside the office door. An all-gender washroom is available in the ARCH office.
- A candle lighting portion of this event is located outside. There are no additional steps to the outdoor space. Please dress accordingly for the weather.
- While inside the office space, all individuals must wear a mask and socially distance to the best of their ability.

WOW! While it may be chilly out there today our hearts are full of warmth and love from an amazing visit from our friend Laura the coordinator of the Guelph-Wellington Basketeers program who dropped off $11,500 of Walmart and Canadian Tire gift cards as well as baskets of high-need items for our women and children.

Gift cards for our clients allow them to purchase what they need most and on their own terms, they are a fresh start, and a reminder that there is an entire community of wonderful individuals who are always ready to show up in tremendous ways for survivors and their families.

Thank you SO much to @laurablinkhorn who shares her generous heart with her community each year and year round, to all of those who participated in this years basketeers initiative and the wonderful folks at Canadian Tire in Fergus for matching a purchase of giftcards with a $500 donation.

Thank you for brightening our days and holidays, we are blown away by this amazing support. 💜

Thank you Ashley for highlighting the importance of allowing survivors to reach out to supports when it is safe to do so and at their own pace. Survivor-centered supportive approaches from friends, family and service providers are crucial in this work to prevent and mitigate gender-based violence.

November 20th commemorates Trans Day of Remembranc

November 20th commemorates Trans Day of Remembrance; a day to honour the lives of the trans people we have lost.

Trans folks continue to face disproportionate impacts of gender-based violence. One trans life lost is too many. No one deserves to lose their life for living their lives as who they are.

We all actively need to be working towards creating a world in where visibility is safe.

So today and beyond, please reflect and remember on the unjust losses and seek out opportunities to learn, challenge transphobia and celebrate the resilience of trans folks and communities.

For those looking to share in community, grief, loss, love and hope - @gqe_uog is hosting a Trans Day of Remembrance Vigil tonight at 7pm over zoom. Please visit their page for more details.

#TransDayOfRemembrance #TDOR

Reposted from the folks over at @gqe_uog: Join us

Reposted from the folks over at @gqe_uog: Join us Saturday, November 20th, for a vigil to honour the lives of the trans people we have lost. The vigil will be held over Zoom, with various speakers to share their experiences and insight into trans life, existence, resilience, and passing. We will also have a chance to learn about ARCH's grief quilt, how you can get involved, and local trans supports. And of course, there will be a moment of silence to better hold space for grief, love, loss, and hope for a future that celebrates trans radiance.

No more delays. Survivors of gender-based violence

No more delays. Survivors of gender-based violence and the services committed to supporting them can no longer wait for meaningful action from Canada’s leaders.

COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the lives of many survivors, and the services that provide them with essential support. Now, more than ever, it is critical that Canada expedites the implementation of a fully funded, realized and evidence based National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence. It is vital that this plan addresses the gender-inequities highlighted and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic including decreased access to services.

#WrappedinCourage supports the recommendations made by @EndVAW and calls to action.
