Amazing Information Session

I want to that all of you who came out to the meeting tonight and for those who couldn't make it I will be posting my notes tomorrow here and as a discussion topic on the Facebook Group page.

Tonight we heard from songs and spoken word from Leona MacDougall, from myself, from a Women's Counsellor Kathleen Westhaver from Bryony House.

Then after the presentation we heard from the co-chair of THANS (Transition House Association Nova Scotia) during Q&A, from an ex-resident who happened to read about the information night in the newspaper last week. We heard from other Transition House Workers, Feminists, Unionists and I think it's safe to say we are all Activists.

There was a reporter there from the Chronicle Herald so I would say look for a story perhaps in tomorrows paper on the event.

Friends of Transition Houses will be at the Labour Day March & BBQ on Monday at the Halifax Commons (south commons), with information, petitions and Green Ribbons **

Also coming up on September 17th the Friends of Transition Houses are launching the Green Ribbon Campaign at the NS Legislature on the opening day of the Legislative Assembly. Please stay tuned for more on that and if your group, committee, association want to be involved with the tying of (Giant) ribbons to help with the launch please contact me to discuss.

Take back the night is coming up soon (date to be announced) the Friends of Transition Houses Network will be there to make some noise, stand in solidairty against violence against women, again have ribbons, petitions and information for participants, why not join us?

The Cape Breton Transition House also has service cuts immanent just like Bryony saw on August 25. Many other houses are struggling.

Let's make sure we come together to strengthen and secure these services and programs that SAVE WOMEN'S LIVES.
