OCTEVAW Meet & Greet

Curious about the future of OCTEVAW? Want to meet the new Executive Director and learn more about how you, or your organization, can get involved in creating violence-free futures?

What is the purpose of the event?

Join us for an afternoon of connection and engagement with Ottawa’s gender-based violence sector where you will get the opportunity to meet with Yami, OCTEVAW’s recently on-boarded Executive Director, members of the coalition’s network, and folks currently working to advance the GBV movement. The GBV movement has been a powerful voice for change and accountability within Ottawa’s change-making communities. Come on out and learn more about OCTEVAW’s key advocacy goals for 2024 including planned projects. We would love to meet you!
