Headwaters White Ribbon Campaign Garnering Attention You may have seen these posters at various organizations throughout the Dufferin Area featuring prominent members of our community. These men have taken the pledge that they will never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls. So far, Terry and Josh Sanderson, Mayor Adams and Sam Young have all been featured with their daughters, as part of this six month poster campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to encourage men to take the pledge and to raise awareness of eliminating violence against women. In partnership with the Headwaters White Ribbon chapter, Family Transition Place is pleased to see the results of the campaign thus far with many men logging online to take the pledge! FTP and Headwaters White Ribbon (HWR) look forward to releasing the next set of posters over the coming months. If you are interested in being involved in the HWR chapter, please visit www. headwaterswhiteribbon.ca/
