This Truth and Reconcilitation Day, DOVE members attended the walk put on by the Tsawwassen First Nations on September 30. One of our DOVE members presented TFN with a handmade Every Child Matters quilt. The event was well attended this year, such a great event!

The purpose of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is to provide an opportunity for communities to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older persons by raising awareness of the processes affecting them. This weekend, DOVE attended the South Delta Seniors Day event.

On June 7, DOVE will be attending South Delta Seniors Day at Southlands in Tsawwassen from 10:00am-3:00pm in recognition of International World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15. Information and resources will be available, along with a draw for prize baskets. Come on out!

Happy International Women’s Day! We are constantly inspired by the strength of women and their stories every day, and we appreciate all the women on the DOVE committee who help to make things happen. 🤍 #internationalwomensday

Yesterday, UFCW Local 247 and Local 1518 held their 20th annual shoe memorial at New Westminster City Hall for the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Each pair of shoes represents a victim. 🕊️

Today we honour the women who were murdered at École Polytechnique in 1989. We also honour all women who are killed due to relationship violence. It is estimated that nearly 6 in 10 homicides involving a woman or girl is perpetrated by an intimate partner or family member. 🕊️

May we remember that they gave their tomorrows so we could have our today. Lest we forget. 🕊️ #RemembranceDay2024 #LestWeForget

Today, the #DPD is proud to stand with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) in issuing a formal apology to Canada’s LGBTQ2S+ Community for untold pain caused by a legacy of police discrimination, harassment, marginalization and abuse of authority.
