Hi all,

I wanted to let you know that we now have 227 signatures on this petition. Thank you so much for your support! This petition has grown larger than we expected, and we are so grateful.

I started this petition because I can see firsthand the issues happening because of the women's shelter closing. Your engagement is making a difference, thank you for keeping the momentum going!

I will be emailing regional council members with our concerns and links/references to our petition on Tuesday to remind them that you share these concerns with me. If you would also like to tell them about your concerns regarding this issue, you find the contact info for regional council here: Regional Council Members.

Thank you for sharing this petition with anyone you know who cares about this issue. Facebook groups, SMS chats, Twitter, email, and WhatsApp are all great ways to spread the word.

If we all reach out to just one person about this petition, we can double our impact and ensure our voices are heard.

If you want a poster to display or a graphic to post on your accounts, please email us at temporarywomensshelter@outlook.com.

Thanks again for supporting this cause. Together, we can motivate the region to tackle this gap in its services for women.

Hoping you enjoy the long weekend and are able to stay cool in this heat.
