Domestic violence exists and, sadly, will continue to exist in our community for years to come. Alberta reports one of the highest levels of domestic violence in Canada per capita - not a statistic to be proud of.

But your gift will make a difference in the lives of women and children fleeing domestic violence today and tomorrow as families break the often generational pattern of violence in their lives.

Help us realize our vision of a community free of family violence with a donation today.
