Thursday night was the annual "Take Back the Night" festivities at Peace Park here in London, Ontario.
There was a great turn out and a great speaker this year (as opposed to last year's speaker who was severely unmotivating) from the Sexual Assualt Centre.
The march went on successfully this year, many people watching were supportive and respectful (except for the couple of cars who tried to run us over).
As we passed the corner of Wellington St. and Dundas St. we were greeted by a group of men (as they aren't permitted to walk) with a sign that read "Men Against Violence Against Women", very heartwarming to see.
This year's festivities only highlighted by the fact that I didn't get burned by my vigil candle...namely because I didn't get one.
All in all, a successful evening!!
