Flags Lowered for the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

The flags at all municipally-owned facilities will be lowered to half-mast from sunrise to sunset on Saturday, December 6, 2025, in recognition of the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

This day is dedicated to remembering those who have experienced gender-based violence, and those whose lives have been tragically taken by it. It serves as a call to action for every person in Canada to take meaningful action towards ending gender-based violence.

Through the City’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, we are dedicated to addressing gender-based violence. This work focuses on acknowledging the impact of violence, the support of survivors, and strengthening collaborative prevention strategies.
