YWCA Regina’s 2021 Annual General Meeting is Taking Place on Monday, April 25 at 6:00 PM
Please RSVP by April 20 by contacting Robyn Hiebert at robynh@ywcaregina.com
See poster below for full details:
Your support of this community fundraising campaign will:
Provide Safety by supporting women fleeing violence staying at Isabel Johnson Shelter, My Aunt’s Place and Kikinaw Residence.
Create Environments of Love by supporting kids in our children’s homes who are awaiting the next step in their journey and helping us ensure their well-being.
Show Someone Cares by helping women and families in crisis through our Outreach Services. Sometimes this is as simple as a ride to a medical appointment, or providing formula or menstrual supplies, or sometimes it’s as complex as finding appropriate housing for a family of eight.
Provide Opportunities through our social programs, like Big Sisters which provides mentorship, or Children Exposed to Violence program which helps families heal.
Promote Healing by helping us focus on Reconciliation and providing culturally relevant services.
Regina – YWCA Regina is hosting the city’s third annual Women’s March virtually on Saturday, January 16, 2021.
With the safety of our city in mind, we are encouraging the community to create posters and march safely within their bubbles while connecting online.
The event invites community members of all ages, genders, races, abilities, and religions to march #ForwardTogether on Saturday January 16th 2021.
“We must continue the work we have started, advocating for women’s rights” says YWCA Regina CEO Melissa Coomber-Bendtsen. “How we march may look different, but our mission of empowering women’s rights remains the same.”
The event seeks to inspire, unite, and lead the charge for the advancement of women across Canada, while shining a light on gender inequality in Regina and the surrounding area.
“The Women’s March offers residents an opportunity to imagine what a community rooted in solidarity and in the pursuit of gender and social justice looks like,” continues Coomber-Bendtsen. “We recognize how important it is for us to stand up for each other and march not just for ourselves, but to empower one another.”
Women’s March Canada is an international movement to unify and empower everyone who stands for human rights, civil rights, and social justice for all. To learn more, visit https://womensmarch.com/ or follow the Women’s March YQR social accounts.

For Immediate Release – April 20, 2020
YWCA Regina continues to operate Isabel Johnson Domestic Violence Shelter, My Aunt’s Place Shelter for Women and Families, and Kikinaw Residence to serve our women in need. All four children’s shelters are also still fully operational and actively serving vulnerable children. YWCA Regina Outreach services continue to provide support to those needing assistance in securing stable income, navigating supports, housing, and acquiring basic necessities like infant formula and menstrual supplies.
In order to protect the women and children, and provide opportunity for social distancing and isolation, YWCA Regina has acquired additional apartments within the city and is undergoing renovation within our existing spaces to build fully contained private suites.
As an additional measure of protection against the transmission of COVID-19, we have temporarily closed our main building at 1940 McIntyre Street to non-essential services and at this time are not accepting donations of clothing and household items, or hosting community partners in our rental spaces.
As we mark one month of public closure, it is of utmost importance that our community understand there is still a safe place to go in the face of domestic violence, crisis, and uncertainty.
To access YWCA Services, call our 24-hour number at 306-525-2141, or visit us in person at 1940 McIntyre Street and ring the buzzer at our front door.
In case of emergency, you can also call the Mobile Crisis Helpline at 306-757-0127.
During this difficult time, we are continuing to do as we have always done – welcome the women and children of our community with open arms and provide safety and security to those in need of support.
