A moment of silence after youth from the Broadway Neighbourhood Centre lit candles at the annual Sunrise Memorial organized by the Manitoba Women’s Advisory Council Manitoba Status of Women held in the Rotunda, Manitoba Legislative Building Friday morning to commemorate Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The memorial is an opportunity for Manitobans to remember all women and girls who have died as a result of violence and to be aware that there are many women and girls who face violence in their lives and to work toward eliminating that violence,.
