Bridges stands with the Ukrainian people in their time of desperation. We realize that what is happening in Ukraine might be triggering for citizens in our own community, including immigrants and Canadians of Ukrainian descent, many with families still in Ukraine. We encourage everyone to look out for themselves during this awful time and to look out for each other.
Heather Forbes serves as the Director of Development at Bridges for Women Society, where she bridges the gap between funders, supporters, and community members in support of at-risk women in and around Victoria, BC, Canada.
