HEDDY SOROUR

Organized by Lanark County Interval House and Community Support, the annual Take Back the Night 2024 march saw a great turn out with more than 100 people participating. Attendees gathered at Town Hall Square at 6:00 p.m on Thursday September 12. The atmosphere was expectant, poignant and welcoming. Residents from Carleton Place and the entire region including Ottawa were present to show their support and raise awareness to end femicide. Some men came out in support as well, though not as many as might be expected in 2024. The event kicked off with a few words from local politicians followed by a powerful rallying speech from Lanark County Interval House Executive Director Erin Lee.
