Across the Province
For the 2024 Advocacy Year, the BPW Brampton Caledon Resolutions Committee partnered with the Victim Services of Peel organization and submitted three resolutions to BPW Ontario. These resolutions were researched, discussed, debated, voted on at the club, and unanimously passed at the May BPW Ontario Annual General Meeting.
A Brief to the provincial government and opposition parties is now available. These briefs contain directives to urge the provincial government and relevant ministries to take action. Our members are encouraged to contact and meet with their local Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP).
Across Canada & Globally
The BPW Canada Conference was held in Moncton, New Brunswick, from August 9 to 12, 2024. The BPW Brampton Caledon Resolution Committee submitted one resolution on the Prioritization and Inclusion of Femicide in Canada’s Criminal Code. This resolution was unanimously carried. It is now part of the 2024 BPW Canada Brief to the federal government and opposition parties.
Our club members are encouraged to contact and meet with their local Member of Parliament (MP).
