Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hope in Every Step?

Hope in Every Step (previously known as “Hope in high Heels”) is a walk to end violence against women and show unwavering support for those affected by domestic violence in our community. This inspiring event will take place on September 23rd in Milton and September 24th in Burlington. By participating, you will not only show your support to survivors but also raise critical funds for Halton Women’s Place, the only women’s shelter in Halton. Walk with us as we honour survivors, celebrate their resilience, and take meaningful strides towards a future free of domestic violence.
