These two elves volunteered for us for the Guelph-

These two elves volunteered for us for the Guelph-Wellington Basketeers drop-off this past Saturday. They got a jump on the 'Giving Tuesday' movement for today and we hope their happy faces will inspire you to also give back.
While we would love for you to become a new donor or to renew your past support for WIC, of course, we really want you to simply be part of the Giving Tuesday movement - in whatever way you choose to do that.
💜 Perform a random act of kindness
💜 Do a good deed for the planet
💜 Drop off a 'wish list' item for a holiday drive
💜 Volunteer in any capacity you can
💜 Donate what you are able
Giving Tuesday is meant to be an antidote to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It represents a switch from fulfilling your own wants and needs, to thinking about the needs of others.
In 2021, more than 6 million Canadians participated in Giving Tuesday. Join the movement and collectively make our community a better place.

We are still brimming with joy over the turnout for our Open House on the 22nd. Thanks to all of those who made the time to come out and tour the space, talk to our counsellors, learn about our range of programs and services and mix and mingle.
Gratitude to our BEVERAGE SPONSORS!
💜 @queenofcraftbeer of @wellingtonbrewery Brewery with a selection of beer and yummy non-alcoholic Hop Water (thanks too for serving Karyn and Wilma!)
💜 @thetownewiner for amazing Niagara pinot grigio and malbec
💜 @ngc4neighbours for their 'Wine from the Hood' from Niagara, proudly served at The Wooly, Miijidaa, Park Grocery and Borealis
Gratitude to our DECOR SPONSOR!
💜 @tullamore_lavender_co for the bouquets of dried lavender that matched our theme of purple and also of calm and healing.
THANK YOU so much to all of our sponsors for partnering with us!
This was so well attended that we promise to have another one. (Well, sooner than the last one anyway, which was in 2009 when we unveiled this office at 38 Elizabeth Street!)
With thanks to @deadlinecreative.co and @mattdavidgephoto or the video.

The Ontario Association of Interval & Transition H

The Ontario Association of Interval & Transition Houses' annual femicide list is out, and femicide rates have risen sharply over the past year. 62 women have been killed in Ontario over the past 12 months, up from 52 women the year before.
Please consider coming out to City Hall tomorrow evening to support Ward 6 City Councillor Dominique O'Rourke's motion to name intimate partner violence an epidemic in this city, and to call on the provincial government to do the same for Ontario. The Council meeting starts at 6pm. Wear purple to show your support for survivors.

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!

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 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.
