CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH

 

This month the WIndsor-Essex Children's Aid is sponsoring Child Abuse Prevention Month.

On October 8th at 8:30 am they are hosting a Pancake Breakfast at the main office (1671 Riverside Dr E) with a minimum cost of $5 person. The proceeds will go towards continuing the education and prevention of child abuse efforts of WECAS. Grab a group of friends and head out for a great cause!

Also, October is GO PURPLE FOR PREVENTION MONTH. The SWSA Office is equipped with purple ribbons from WECAS for students to wear around and promote the cause. Don't forget to sport your favourite purple ensemble and your ribbon!

HALLOWEEN

On October 31st SWSA will be Trick-or-Treating for canned goods to donate to the Welcome Center of Windsor.

We have chosen the nieghborhood around Parent and Techumseh to collect from. Students will meet either on campus for rides (please let us know if you need a ride) or at the parking lot at Parent and Techumseh and we will go from there.

The Sunday before (October 24th) a group of students will drop off fliers in people's mail boxes to let them know when we are coming and a little about our cause. We would like to get a group of volunteers together to help out with this.

Students and Professors who want to make a donation of canned goods can also drop them off at the SWSA office.
