Join Nova Vita and participate throughout the year at one of our annual events to raise awareness about domestic violence and raise much needed financial support for our emergency shelter, programs and services.
International Women’s Day
40 years ago, the very first night Nova Vita opened our doors, we welcomed a woman and her two children into our emergency shelter. Thank you to all of our attendees, sponsors, donors, volunteers who joined us in honouring 40 years of help, hope, and healing, at Nova Vita Celebrates International Women’s Day on March 6th.
With your support, over $60,000 was raised to support women* in our community. Thank you!
Special thank you to our Presenting Sponsors, Vanessa The Mortgage Broker and Erin McIntyre of Haus & Co Realtors.
Thank you to our 2024 #NovaVitaIWD sponsors!

Left over clothing will be donated to Nova Vita. Clothing drop-off will take place from 10AM – 12PM, and the Clothing Exchange will be available for shopping from 12PM – 4PM at the TB Costain SC Johnson Community Centre (16 Morrell St, Brantford).
