The B.C. Federation of Labour is inviting members to its annual breakfast, commemorating the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

  Established in 1991 by the government of Canada, December 6^th marks the anniversary of the murders in 1989 of 14 young women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal.  Because December 6^th falls on a Sunday, the breakfast will be held on Friday morning, December 4^th.

Date: Friday, December 4, 2009

Time:        7:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.

Location:  Crystal Ballroom at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown

                     6083 McKay Avenue, Burnaby, BC

Although there is no charge for the breakfast, reservations are required and seats are limited.  Those interested in coming are encouraged to book early.  Please call the switchboard (604-430-1421) with your name, union and the number of people in your party.  Tables seat 12, so if you are booking a table, please be sure you have enough in your party to fill the table.

A continental breakfast will be provided, and special guest speakers will address the issue of violence against women.  Guests will also have an opportunity to pick up a community lobby kit – a tool for action and change at the local level – put together by the B.C. Federation of Labour
