Due to Covid lockdown restrictions we are putting our Women's Grief Support group that was due to start this week on hold.

We are still hoping to hold the group when it is safe to do so. If you are a woman or gender-oppressed person who is grieving the death of a partner, please reach out to Christine at christine@secondstory.ca or 902-397-1625 for more information, and to let her know you're interested in participating in the group when we can hold it.

Join our Board!

5/12/2021

0 Comments

 
We are currently recruiting new members for our volunteer Board of Directors. The minimum time commitment is only five hours a month – which includes participating, in person or via Zoom, in an evening meeting held the last Thursday of each month and committee work. Training and support is also provided to all new recruits.

The work our board members do is both critical to the community and personally rewarding. The Centre is hoping to fill open seats with members who can bring a range of cultural and life experiences to the table, to ensure that the voices of the women and other gender-oppressed persons we serve are better represented. We especially welcome applications from Black, Indigenous and People of Colour, newcomers to Canada, women and gender diverse people with disabilities, and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. 

Want to learn more?  
  • Join us for an introductory session covering board member’s roles, responsibilities, and opportunities on Tuesday, May 25 from 3-4 or 7-8.  Please rsvp to info@SecondStory.ca by May 20.  If you’re unable to attend, please send us an email to schedule a one-on-one session.

Interested in joining our board or know someone who might be?

WOW - Because of our community's generosity, we were able to raise enough money to pay for more than 100 counselling sessions for women and gender-oppressed people on the South Shore through our Mother's Day fundraiser. We are SO thankful for your support!
We want to say an extra special thank you to our friends at the Salt Shaker Deli in Lunenburg who donated 10% of their Mother's Day weekend sales, despite working with reduced capacity due to Covid lockdown restrictions. THANK YOU!

Remembering our Stolen Sisters

5/5/2021

Today is Red Dress Day - or the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. It is a shameful fact that in Canada, Indigenous women and girls are 12 times more likely to be murdered or missing than other women in Canada. On today and all days we remember and mourn our Stolen Sisters.

We must also remember that the National Inquiry into MMIWG's final report detailed 231 Calls for Justice - including 8 Calls for Justice to all People in Canada.


Today we ask that you click here to read them and consider how you can implement these Calls for Justice in your life.

We are proud to join over 100 feminist and social justice organizations across Canada declaring our support for trans inclusion and trans rights. We reject anti-trans rhetoric in our feminism movement.

We are not perfect, but we are committed to advancing trans inclusion and rights. Trans people deserve to see themselves reflected in our feminist movement, organizations and spaces.
