CFUW asks Council to declare gender-based violence an epidemic.

“Each year on December 6th, the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Southport, holds a Vigil at Coulter Parkette in Port Elgin to remember the 14 women students of École Polytechnique in Montreal, who were killed in a mass murder simply because they were women, and also to raise awareness of violence against women today.

On November 11th (2024), CFUW President Odette Bartnicki, made a presentation to Saugeen Shores Town Council, following a letter on November 4th (2024) that was sent to Mayor and Council.

In the letter, Bartnicki laid out the reasons for her delegation, and the fact that Councillor Cheryl Grace has brought a Notice of Motion to Council to declare that intimate partner violence (IPV) is now an epidemic.
