The Phoenix Monument Education Project is dedicated to honour women and children who have been murdered or who have gone missing in the Prince George and surrounding area. The Phoenix Transition Society hopes to have a monument designed and constructed in Prince George. The monument will also serve as a reminder of the need for public education regarding issues of prevention of violence against women and children. One of the project’s objectives is to develop educational materials which will address eliminating the harmful stereotypes that lead to discrimination and violence and tearing down the structures that perpetuate the violence. Creating safer communities requires a long-term commitment from all of us. Please help us make the Monument Project a reality by making a donation.
