Fly by..... (666)

My son lives close to where we are working, and he drives , so that was one reason why he has re-joined the crew.
He had taken a break, and went to take the Pre-firefighters course, but the re-cruitment process is long, so he needs to work still.
Have a nice day, speaking of work...I better get my butt there!!

Do you care????


NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE AND ACTION ON VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

December 6, 2006

Did you know that December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action
on Violence Against Women in Canada? Established in 1991 by the Parliament
of Canada, this day marks the anniversary of the murders in 1989 of 14 young
women at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal. They died because they were
women.

As well as commemorating the 14 young women whose lives ended in an act of
gender-based violence that shocked the nation, December 6 represents an
opportunity for Canadians to reflect on the phenomenon of violence against
women in our society. It is also an opportunity to consider the women and
girls for whom violence is a daily reality, and to remember those who have
died as a result of gender-based violence. And finally, it is a day on which
communities can consider concrete actions to eliminate all forms of violence
against women and girls.

Men in London, Ont. wear white ribbons on their lapels and around their
arms. A group of men start the White Ribbon Campaign as a symbol of men's
opposition to male violence against women. Recently, a troubling study found
that men assaulted one in seven women but only one in 250 cases were
reported. The campaign's impetus comes from these statistics and the
Montreal Massacre. In a CBC Television report, an organizer explains the
ribbons symbolize "the idea of men giving up their arms."

I care ~ and I wish to thank-you for reminding us all of the significance of this horrific and tragic event.

I hope all provinces across Canada adopt the White Ribbon/armband Campaign to take a stand and show that violence against women should not.. and will not be tolerated.

Oops.... sorry we are talking about Montreal here.... I didn't read it properly.....
