I am pleased to announce that at last night's council meeting, I put forward a motion that was seconded by Councillor Janet Haslett-Theall and unanimously passed. The Notice of Motion was for the 'Declaration of Intimate Partner Domestic Abuse Crisis in Oakville'.@townofoakville
Thank you Councillor @navnandaward7 for putting forward this motion to declare IPV an epidemic & Oakville colleagues who voted in support! This is much needed.
Our government has passed Bill 102, Strengthening Safety and Modernizing Justice Act.
The Bill includes the motion, Keira’s Law, mandating Judges and Justices of the Peace receive intimate partner violence and coercive control training. #onpoli

Breaking news! Today Bill 102 was granted Royal Assent. This means that Keira’s Law is now law in #Ontario mandating training on gender-based #IPV and coercive control for provincial court judges and justices of the peace. @forlittlekeira@MillcroftAD
