http://www.ys-women.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 November 2013. Wednesday night, marked our 86th Annual General Meeting and one of our staff/bloggers, Donna, wrote this wonderful recap to our staff. We thought we would share our celebrations. Last night the YWCA hosted the community at our 86. Annual General Meeting – we had great attendance and the evening went wonderfully as Carolyn Fish, President, and Elisabeth Zimmermann, our ED, passionately spoke of our strategic planning and upcoming future initiatives. A big thank you to those staff...

Y's Women: April 2013
http://www.ys-women.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 April 2013. Human Beings or Ornamental Cars? Today I read an article. But what exactly did he say? He begins by explaining that “ what we do at Esquire is produce a. If that wasn't bad enough, he believes women ". Are ornamental. This may sound even worse, but it’s the same way we also provide them with pictures of cool cars.” Pictures of pretty women are the same as cars? He avoids acknowledging the consequences of the. Objectification of women. How have we regressed so far? Women perpetuat...

Y's Women: February 2013
http://www.ys-women.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 28 February 2013. Slowly, Slowly You'll Go Far. My boyfriend's Nana used to tell him in Italian "Piano, piano csi va lontino." Which means little by little you'll go far." When looking to make a change in the world, I look to her words for inspiration. As a young woman hoping to make a change in today’s society, I often find it difficult to make a meaningful impact. Ideally,. I am incredibly inspired by th ese young. Girls who sta rted off small but. Rguing that girls have a right to be educated.

Surf Day: Dec 23, 11am. Mather Arch, Fort Erie. The Surfing Santa Sock Drive is an event that collects new socks and underwear for the less fortunate in Niagara. Undergarments are not traditionally a donated used clothing item for reasons of hygiene, therefore are the number one clothing item in demand. Shelters are in dire need of new warm, dry socks and underwear year round but especially during this cold, harsh winter season.

Y's Women: Ho-Ho-Homeless For The Holidays
http://www.ys-women.com/2013/12/ho-ho-homeless-for-holidays.html
Thursday, 19 December 2013. Ho-Ho-Homeless For The Holidays. For those Grinchy folks we YWCA staffers have a solution…. Glue a Santa beard to their chins and over-sized elf ears to their heads in their sleep? Nah, but the visual is far more entertaining to me than it probably should be! Much better than waiting in line at a stuffy, packed elbow to elbow mall, and can still plaster a smile on the face of any child hoping they skirted the “Naughty” list. 19 December 2013 at 21:17. 20 May 2014 at 07:03.

Y's Women: March 2013
http://www.ys-women.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 28 March 2013. You've Come a Long Way Baby. As women, have we? Before this past summer I would have said an empathic yes, absolutely. What has made me question my stance on equality? How long will we tolerate this? I get that sexy sells, but have we gone so far backwards that advertisers are willing to sell the intelligence of both men and women short to make a sale? Businesses buy these concepts and want their products promoted in this way? Maybe this is the time that the “women’s ...8221; Jan...

Y's Women: June 2013
http://www.ys-women.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 June 2013. I destroy homes, tear families apart, take your children, and that’s just the start. I’m more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold; the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold. And if you need me, remember I’m easily found; I live all around you, in schools and in town. I live with the rich, I live with the poor; I live down the street, and maybe next door. My power is awesome; try me — you’ll see; but if you do, you may never break free. If you try me– be warned– t...I’l...
