Members of the PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women will host their annual Charlottetown Memorial Service today to mark Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The Memorial Service will take place from 12:00 noon to 1:00pm. The 2023-2024 theme of the Purple Ribbon Campaign Against Violence Against Women is “Healing Gender-Based Violence ~ begins here.” Candles will be lit in remembrance of the fourteen women murdered in the Montreal Massacre of 1989 and each of the ten Island women murdered since that year.
