Social Good is about finding small ways to make a difference.  As the festive season arrives, it’s time to enjoy memorable moments with friends and family, it’s time to celebrate, and it’s time to spare a moment to think about sharing your joy with families who struggle throughout the year.  There is a way you can make a difference. Thousands of individuals seek the services of YWCA Saskatoon each year to escape poverty, violence and homelessness. Become a part of Social Good and know that you are impacting the world of a family, woman or child in the community.

The Rose Campaign is a national advocacy campaign to end violence against women and girls. The Campaign takes its name from the original Rose button, created 22 years ago to commemorate 14 young women who were murdered at l’Ecole Polytechnique, by calling for action on violence against women and promoting strategies to stop violence in our communities.

December 6 is Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The date is etched in history by the shooting deaths of 14 women in 1989 in Montreal by a man deliberately targeting women on a busy campus. Canadians reacted with shock, sorrow and outrage. A strong lobby formed to bring guns under control in Canada, work that continues to this day.

December 6 became the day we remember the women who died and re-commit to taking action on violence against women and girls until our streets, our campuses and our homes are safe. Because Canada is not yet a safe country for women.
