Royal LePage Nanaimo Realty’s office is hosting this event because…
- Half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16.
- 67% of Canadians personally know a woman who has been abused.
- On average, every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner.
- 362,000 children are exposed to domestic violence each year.
- Our local women’s shelter served almost 4000 women, children & families during the past year.
As Travis Carmichael, Managing Broker of Royal LePage Nanaimo says, “We are excited to be hosting the Annual National Garage Sale For Shelter on May 12th in our parking lot. It’s an opportunity for not only us to help women and children that are in need in our beautiful city, it’s an opportunity for our community to help as a whole. By donating good quality items that you aren’t using anymore you are helping fund shelter for those who need it most. Every single penny raised at the sale will go directly to the Haven Society here in Nanaimo. It’s an opportunity for us all to give back a little. That’s what a community is all about.”
