You can find the Nomination Form and more information about each category on our website www.womensresources.ca under ‘Events’.
On October 17th, we will honour the nominees and the award recipients at a Celebratory Dinner and Awards Presentation held at the Black Diamond Golf Club, Pontypool. You can look forward to a fun evening that includes a special “Bling Raffle” (you have to experience it!), a silent auction and, of course the Awards Ceremony. Tickets are also available through our website.
Women’s Resources works hard to ensure positive, successful outcomes for the women who turn to us for assistance. We provide 24 hour emergency shelter services, short term housing and a range of counselling options for women and children. We strive to provide the supports needed for women to make the transition from lives of fear and violence to a future of safety and stability.
Fundraisers like Extraordinary Women help to support our programs and services. We are always very grateful to our community – businesses, community groups and individuals – for recognizing how important our work is and responding when we need it the most.
