This year, it will be holding two events on Sept. 17 it will be held in Burlington at Emmas Back Porch Restaurant and on Sept. 18, it will be held in Oakville at Boston Pizza (Dorval). This event will have men walking for less than a km in the heels (provided by HWP). Its a great way to get more men involved in being a part of the solution, said Carm Bozzo, Development Manager. We, at Halton Womens Place, believe that ending violence against women can not happen without the help of men. Fred Haladay, Senior Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer at Atlas Canada will be walk- ing in the Oakville walk and has already raised close to $2000 in pledges. The Oakville walk will begin and end at Boston Pizza, located at 270 North Service Road, Oakville. Boston Pizza is also hosting the post walk lunch for all participants. Registration begins at 10 a.m. There is a $30 registration fee and walkers must collect pledges. To register, visit www.haltonwomensplace. com or call Carm at 905-332-1200, ext. 222.
