Sault Ste Marie Regional Women's Committee Hosts a Memorial Tea, December 6, 2009
A memorial Tea was held at Riuniti Hall in Sault Ste Marie to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre. Twenty years has passed and violence against women still continues. After this crime was committed, men and women turned their grief into action. Education has become a big part of the PSAC Regional Women's mandate.
This was the first time that Unions in Sault Ste Marie worked together collaboratively to work for a common good. Approximately 80 men, women and children attended the event with 14 candles burning each having an engineering ring on it.
Guest speakers included Tonie Scobie who gave an emotional recount of personal abuse and violence, Brenda Coombs who spoke about her professional experiences as the director of the women's shelter First Nations, and Sarah Broad gave a youth perspective on the impacts of violence and the education that is so crucial.
In Solidarity,
Connie Lento
Chair, Sault Ste Marie Regional Women's Committee
