As a Friend of Safe Harbour, you will be entered into a Monthly Draw for some great prizes! September’s draw prize was a sterling silver necklace valued at $30 and a $25 gift certificate to Ten Thousand Villages, generously donated by Ten Thousand Villages (W. Broadway, Vancouver). Thank You!

Ten Thousand Villages provides vital, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America. Ten Thousand Villages works with artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed.

OTHER WAYS TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT

Respect for All Day - the first Tuesday of every month!
At Safe Harbour, we are committed to making our community a more welcoming and inclusive place to live. There can be, and should be, a way that everyone in the community feels safe and respected. That's why we give people and businesses the resources and support they need to stand up to respect in their own community. Anyone anywhere can join our national movement for diversity. Join us on the first Tuesday of each month in celebrating Respect for All Day. For more information on how to get involved with Respect for All Day, click here.

Respect for All: Pass It On Wristbands
We invite you to demonstrate Safe Harbour in your community by wearing a blue silicone wristband at work, in the community, and on Respect for All Day. To purchase your own wristband, please click here to visit the AMSSA Store.
