The Prince George RCMP took part in Domestic Violence Awareness Month with the Purple Light Nights Campaign.
A PG community partner-based working group called The Violence Against Women in Relationships (VAWIR) committee, adopted the campaign to grow awareness on intimate partner violence in our community.
Constable Jenna Moore said this is the first year the campaign has been recognized in the city.
“On Thursday, October 16th, the Prince George VAWIR committee worked together to present a proclamation to the city, declaring that annually between October 16th and the 30th, the Purple Light Nights Campaign is recognized here in Prince George.”
Moore added the campaign aims to increase awareness about the presence and affects of intimate violence, while honouring the victims and survivors of domestic violence.
