The generosity of the Huron on the Bluffs community is bringing so much joy to our agency this holiday season! Their community toy drive collected over 200 toys and numerous gift cards for children – a donation that will make the holidays brighter for so many of the families we serve. 💚 …🎁
When communities come together like this it truly reminds us that the holiday spirit is alive and well. These gifts mean parents can give their children joy and watch their faces light up — that's truly priceless.
We're so grateful to everyone in Huron on the Bluffs who contributed to this amazing effort. Thank you, thank you!

Types of GBV: Sexual Violence
Sexual violence is any physical or psychological act of a sexual nature that is threatened, attempted, or committed without consent.
In 2018, 1 out of every 3 women in Canada reported being sexually assaulted at some point since the age of 15.
…
Consent must be:
✓ Freely given
✓ Reversible
✓ Informed
✓ Enthusiastic
✓ Specific
Pressure, coercion, or intoxication means it’s NOT consent. Being afraid to say no is NOT consent.

Bruce Power came through for our community again this year with their incredible winter gear donation. @brucepowerngs
Their generous annual donation brings boxes and boxes of coats, hats, mittens and essentials that will keep our children, youth and families warm through the cold months …ahead. These donations make such a difference – families don't have to choose between staying warm or other necessities.
The value of this donation cannot be overstated – it represents thousands of dollars worth of winter gear that directly supports our community. We're truly grateful for this partnership and Bruce Power's continued support. Thank you!! 💚
