To support women and children at risk or fleeing violence on the Burin Peninsula, the Federal, Provincial and Municipal Governments came together today to announce more than $7.5 million to build a shelter for women in Marystown. This investment is aligned with the Provincial Government’s overall commitment to supporting the safety and well-being of women in the province.
Owned and operated by Grace Sparkes House, the new shelter will have 10 private rooms with 20 beds, with a design that will accommodate single women, women with children and trans women that are in emergency need.
