Darian, affectionately known as ‘Dare’, was fatally shot in Peel. A 27-year-old man that she was in a relationship with has been charged with her murder and is awaiting trial.

Her family and her community, along with us here at Halton Women’s Place will continue to advocate for an end to intimate partner violence. We will also work together to amplify the voices of women and their families, like Darian’s, as well as others who need their voices to be heard.

To raise more awareness about intimate partner violence and the fact that it does happen in our community and to honour the life of Darian, friends of the family have created a fundraising initiative.

Darian’s father, Paul Henderson, is a huge car aficionado and Darian loved to work with him on his cars. It was a special hobby for both of them.

Friends and fellow car aficionados Jim Dorsey and Paul Henshall are working together to produce car decals that will be sold at various car events across Southern Ontario. They say,

“Like most people, we were aware that domestic abuse is a serious issue, but when it devastated the lives of two of the most wonderful people that we know, the issue became very personal. ANYONE caught in a potentially deadly abusive relationship should be able to find the resources to help them cope or escape.”

To purchase your car decal please contact Jim or Paul.

(Once COVID restrictions are significantly relaxed, we will be posting locations and times for organized show & shines and car shows)
