Fort Frances mayor June Caul and Riverside Community Counselling Services’s community family violence counsellor Jacquee Loerzel hold up the flag for the “Shine the Light” campaign that is being held this month by Riverside Community Counselling Services, a program of Riverside Health Care, in recognition of woman abuse awareness and prevention month. In addition to asking the public to wear purple on November 13 in order to show their support, there will also be a number of events from community partners 807 & Co. Boutique, Curvy Chick and Oh Boy Sweets that will help to raise awareness and funds to help women who experience violence.
