BC Place glows purple for Domestic Violence Awareness

November 26th, 2020

BC Place will glow purple in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month on Thursday, November 26th.

November is Domestic Violence Awareness Month across Canada. Domestic violence is abuse that happens in a personal relationship. It can happen between past or current partners, spouses, or boyfriends and girlfriends.

Domestic violence affects men and women of any ethnic group, race, or religion; gay or straight; rich or poor; teen, adult, or elderly. But most of its victims are women. About two-thirds or 68 out of 100 domestic violence victims in Canada are women.
