In honour of the incredible efforts of the Abbotsford Police Department, my husband has partnered with the Vancouver Police Department to expand awareness and launch a campaign in partnership; Purple Light's Nights. Recognizing survivors of IPV and raising awareness in our community. 💜

The colour purple represents remembrance for those who have lost their lives to IPV, support for those who have survived IPV, and hope for those who are still actively living in abuse from IPV.

Throughout October, you’ll notice purple lights shining across Vancouver landmarks; Thursday Oct 2nd was BC Place and the Conventions centre. Science World will be lighting up purple on Saturday, October 4)! Lastly, all VPD police stations will be displaying purple lights to show their solidarity for this cause for the month of October.

If you see those purple lights, know that they are shining for safety and support, it's our way of putting a spotlight on what matters 💜
