ACTION: Eliminate Violence -- Campaign and Event
6th Annual Candle Light Vigil
On December 6 each year, Canadians remember the 14 women who were violently murdered at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal in 1989. Each year, the CAW pledges to continue its work of eliminating violence against women whenever it occurs. Every year, CAW members demand government action to stop the violence at work, in homes and in society as a whole.
CAW Local 707 in Oakville will host its sixth annual candle light vigil:
Tuesday December 6, 2005
5:30 pm to 7:30 pm
The Galaxy Club
Local 707 Union Hall
475 North Service Rd. East

The CAW national Campaign to End Violence Against Women also begins on December 6. Women’s committees and women’s networks are asked to organize community events and workplace actions by distributing thousands of postcards across the country at union events, meetings, conferences, schools and workplaces. Julie White, CAW director for women’s programs, said,
"The postcards will identify core funding for women’s services and organizations, as well as pay equity and child care issues that all play a major role in increasing women’s vulnerability."
