Since 2001, communities across the world have been holding annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes events to support victims of domestic and sexual violence.
This Sunday, September 26th, Royal LePage Atlantic will be hosting their annual Walk a Mile event in support locally of Alice House.
The event will take place at the Emera Oval on the Halifax Common on Cogswell Street beginning at 11am until 4pm.
A Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event is a playful opportunity for individuals to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes, effects, and remediations to sexualized violence against women.
For the first time ever, I’ll be there wearing a pair of size 12 high heels attempting to make it around the Oval!
It’s a family event with a bounce obstacle course, BBQ, cotton candy, snow cones and more.
Alice House provides opportunities for women and children to create a life free from intimate partner violence by offering safe housing, counselling & support services.

I hope to see you there in my number 12’s!
