On December 6, 1989, a man entered a class at Polytechnique Montréal and shot 14 women to death. He cited hatred of feminism as a motive. Since then, December 6 has become a memorial to the murdered; as well as to all women and girls who have experienced gender-based violence.
Women account for 80% of reported intimate partner violence. Indigenous and 2SLGBTQ+ women and girls are many more times at risk of violence and murder than their counterparts.
On this day of remembrance, we invite you to consider ways you might create a culture of gender equality in your workplaces and schools, and among family and friends. You can find out more about the commemoration here: women-gender-equality.canada.ca/en/commemorations-celebrations/16-days/national-day-remembrance.html

One of the best ways to make new #friends and #strengthen existing #relationships is to commit to a shared activity together. #volunteering is a great way to meet new people. 😃❤️
Volunteering also strengthens your ties to the #community and broadens your #support network, exposing you to people with common interests, neighborhood resources, and #fun and fulfilling activities. 🚶🏿♀️🚴♀️👮🏼🚸👵🏼👨👩👧🥰🎢🌆

VPD News Release | Vancouver Police launch investigation into unexplained drug poisoning
Vancouver Police have launched an investigation to determine how a man fell mysteriously ill from fentanyl poisoning following a brief encounter with a stranger in Chinatown last week.
The investigation is focused on how the 56-year-old man, who does not use drugs, was exposed, and whether a criminal offence occurred.
“This is a troubling case, and we don’t yet have all the answers, but some of our most experienced people are now leading this investigation,” says Constable Tania Visintin. “We have heard from community members who are troubled by this incident. We want everyone to know that we’re working hard to find out what happened.”
The man fell ill while walking on East Pender Street, between Main and Columbia Street, around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, November 22. He had a brief encounter with a person before going into medical distress and collapsing.
VPD officers working nearby came to the man’s aid. He was given naloxone by paramedics and taken to hospital for treatment for fentanyl poisoning. The man speaks only Cantonese, and at the time there was nothing to indicate that a crime may have occurred.
VPD’s Major Crime Section later launched an investigation after receiving additional information from one of the man’s family members, who thought he may have been intentionally exposed to fentanyl by the stranger.
“We know this man is not a drug user and that he did not intentionally consume fentanyl on the night he fell ill,” adds Constable Visintin. “We are working with the man, his family, and medical professionals to understand how lethal drugs entered his system. We have not ruled out the possibility he was intentionally exposed to fentanyl.”
Investigators from VPD’s Major Crime Section have spent days reviewing evidence and retracing the man’s steps from the night he fell ill. Investigators have now identified the stranger with whom the man had a brief encounter prior to falling ill.
The man has recovered and the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact VPD’s Major Crime Section at 604-717-2541.

VPD News Release | VPD seeks witnesses in Downtown Eastside homicide
Vancouver Police are investigating the murder of a 34-year-old man stabbed to death in the Downtown Eastside yesterday afternoon.
“The victim was found lying in the middle of the busy sidewalk mid-block, on the south side of East Hastings, between Columbia and Carrall Streets”, says VPD Constable Jason Doucette. “This sidewalk is enclosed by a construction tunnel. We know there are witnesses who saw what happened and we are asking them to come forward.”
Just after 3 p.m. on Tuesday a person walking along the sidewalk stopped when they noticed the victim bleeding on the ground and called 911. Emergency services arrived and the unresponsive victim was rushed to hospital where he died.
No arrests have been made.
Investigators from the VPD’s Homicide Unit would like to speak with anyone who witnessed the incident or has dash-cam footage around that time. Anyone with information is asked to call 604-717-2500.

#VPDscanner: #VPD officers were assisting Park Rangers at the Crab Park encampment on Wednesday when a man swung a tent pole at an officer. While the aggressor was being arrested, a woman assaulted another officer from behind. A hostile crowd formed, requiring an emergency call for assistance from other officers to restore order. Luckily, our two officers suffered only minor injuries.
