Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
It's
a
day,
grounded
in
ceremony
a
call
to
to
join
in
reconciliation
and
demand
the
end
of
gender-based
violence
in
British,
Columbia
and
Canada
in
2011,
a
father
and
a
daughter
were
hunting
moose
in
northern
BC,
together,
which
is
kind
of
cool,
because
I've
hunted
with
my
own
daughter.
They
felt
the
connection
to
their
surroundings
within
their
carrier
territory,
along
with
the
highway
of
Tears,
a
725
kilometer
Corridor
of
Highway
16
between
between
Prince
George
and
Prince
Rupert.
A
Where
so
many
women
have
gone
missing
or
have
been
murdered,
they
were
inspired
to
use
the
height
of
the
Moose.
They
harvested
to
create
25
000
pins
as
symbols
of
this
anti-violence
movement
wearing
the
pen
signifies
your
commitment
to
honor
to
respect
and
protect
the
women
and
our
children
in
our
lives
and
speak
out
against
gender-based
and
domestic
violence.
A
Today,
over
3
million
pins
are
being
aired
across
Canada.
As
a
symbol
of
this
commitment,
the
small
square
of
moose
hide
stays
pinned
to
my
lapel
365
year
days
a
year.
It
has
opened
so
many
interesting
conversations
for
me
and
others
about
how
we
must
fight
for
safer,
Province
and
Country,
for
women
and
for
children
as
a
father
as
a
husband
of
of
boys
and
and
girls.
It's
a
difficult
topic
to
discuss,
but
it
needs
our
attention
and
it
needs
our
continuing
commitment.
A
A
The
heartache
and
the
trauma
left
behind
by
these
experiences
can
affect
every
aspect
of
daily
life,
tearing
apart
the
world
of
the
Survivor
and
their
families,
so
Mr
Speaker
I
own,
with
some
thoughts,
if
you
witness
violence,
say
something
we
must
focus
on
educating
each
other
and
our
children
that
violence
is
not
the
way.
It's
not.
Okay.
A
Let's
do
this
for
ourselves,
our
wives,
our
daughters
and
our
sisters,
our
nieces,
our
mothers
and
our
friends
is
by
standing
up
for
the
rights
of
women
and
girls
that
we
truly
measure
up
as
men.
So
please
wear
your
moose
height
patch
with
the
purpose
and
intent
it
was
created
for.
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,.
