Calendar of Events         

Since its inception members of the Organizing Committee of Silent Witness Nova Scotia have been making regional presentations in an effort to establish Silent Witness Chapters throughout the province. We have presented in Truro, Yarmouth, Greenwood, Sydney, Halifax and Dartmouth. These meetings have been wonderfully received by those in attendance, and most have found them powerful, moving and very educational. If you have already attended one of our regional meetings, thank you. Please consult the listings below for future public meetings and on-going chapter events across the province.

If you know of an event dedicated to education or awareness surrounding domestic violence and you would like us to post it on our calendar please contact the Project Coordinator.
