Contest | This year we will Shop for GEN1 at WINNERS & HomeSense to make a real difference

When I stop to think about some of my favourite stores to shop at for the holidays, chances are I am visiting WINNERS & HomeSense at least once during the season. As Canadians, This year, starting on November 24th, they will launch a very special selection of items in support of Canadian Women’s Foundation that will support 450 shelters and community programs across Canada that help break the cycle of violence – for good. Come and see how you can #joinGEN1 with us.

GEN1 means:

  • The first generation free of violence. No sexual harassment or assault, no domestic abuse, no sex trafficking. 
  • The first generation of economic equality. No gender wage gap, no glass ceiling, no girls afraid to show their brilliance. 
  • The first generation of inclusive leadership. Leadership that collaborates and includes marginalized voices.
