On October 12th, 2018, the Center for Prevention of Violence will be hosting a major fundraising event: A hockey game where members of our community will face the Montreal Canadiens Alumni.
The game will be held at the J.K. Irving Center in Bouctouche, and a portion of the funds will help develop a center of expertise for children victim of sexual assault in the Kent area.
The funds will also support the programs currently offered at the Boréal Center, a center providing services to children victim of sexual assault in the Greater Moncton Area.
