Dear Friends, Colleagues and Supporters of Calgary Counselling Centre’s Bravest Men:
Many of you have attended and/or supported Calgary Counselling Centre’s Bravest Men events over the past three years.
Plans were well underway for this year, when we learned of the untimely death of our 2010 guest speaker Dr.William Fals-Stewart a leading expert on family violence and substance abuse.
Due to Dr. Fals-Stewart’s passing, and the shortage of planning time, we have decided to postpone this year’s Bravest Men celebration. We offer our sincere condolences to Dr. Fals-Stewart’s family and colleagues.
We are now working on the 2011 Bravest Men gala and welcome your participation and nominations for Calgary’s Bravest Man.
Our 2011 celebrations will again consist of Calgary’s Bravest Man Award made to a man or a group in the community who has demonstrated significant leadership in the area of stopping the cycle of domestic abuse; and, a Youth Forum presented in partnership with schools and community organizations to connect youth to the realities of domestic and social abuse.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Robbie Babins-Wagner
Chief Executive Officer
