Earlier today I met with Shelley, Dawn, and Briana from Women’s Shelters Canada to discuss the government’s National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence.

Thank you for all you do. You are doing incredibly important work in our communities, including your advocacy to end gender-based violence across Canada.

When it comes to implementing this strategy, you need to be at the table. We need to work with organizations like yours, with people who are working at the community grass-roots level to get it right. Thank you for your expertise.
