Purple Ribbons Now In!
Drop into the WI office at 40 Enman Crescent in Charlottetown to pick up a shoebox of purple ribbons and pins to help out with this year's Purple Ribbon Campaign.
The pinned ribbons are placed onto bookmarks in support of the PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women’s purple ribbon campaign to end violence against women.
Each package (shoebox) contains approximately 200-300 bookmarks, ribbons, and pins. Feel free to take as many packages as you feel able to complete. We ask you to return the pinned bookmarks to the Women’s Institute office by Wednesday, November 6th.
Your efforts help greatly in distributing more than 17,000 ribbons and cards across the Island. The Status of Women continues to advocate for women, girls, and people of all genders to live free from violence in their relationships, their families, and their communities.
