On December 12th, 2018 we came together at the BWSS My Sister’s Closet Pop Up Shop celebrating community party to honour the ongoing action taken by our community to end gender based violence and wrap-up the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence 2018.
It was a beautiful evening with donors and supporters including our friends from Khare Communications, Cystech Solutions, Luminesque Dance, Reach Community Health, Hogans Alley Society and sister organizations Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre and WAVAW. Check out the gallery of photos from the event below. On behalf of our Board of Directors, volunteers and staff thank you for joining us, we were so pleased to host the event at our My Sister’s Closet Pop Up shop at 1151 commercial Drive.
Because of the outstanding support we have received from our community, shoppers and donors, we are so pleased to announce that our My Sister’s Closet Pop Up will be extending its stay on The Drive into Spring 2019! Thank you to Reach Community Health Center for extending our partnership into 2019.
