Unifor recently donated $2,000 to La Maison Rosewood Shelter, as a part of its total $158,000 commitment to women’s shelters across Canada.
“These donations are invaluable in our mission to end all violence against all women, and represent the commitment of the community to accomplish this as well,” Huronia Transition Homes acting executive director Haily MacDonald said.
Added Unifor National president Lana Payne: “We recognize that the needs of women escaping violence and seeking equality across Canada remain great.
“We will continue to work in coalition with gender equality groups, community partners, and the broader labour movement on ways to eliminate gender-based violence.”
Huronia Transition Homes encourages everybody to seek out ways to learn about and be active against gender-based violence in their own communities.
“Through education, creating conversation, and holding ourselves accountable, we can create change,” the organization noted in a release.
