International Women Riders Congress and Festival
August 11 - 15, 2010 - Deerhurst Resort, Huntsville Ontario Canada
Chrysalis, a shelter for women and children in Huntsville, has been selected as the event charity for the International Women Riders Congress and Festival.
To date, two on-site activities have been identified which will generate funds for Chrysalis:
- the sale of an art-nouveau collection of T-shirts which has been donated by Diva Rider Wear
- Meg's Ride, a ladies only charity trail ride being organized as part of the Ontario Trail Ride Series
Chrysalis offers both emergency shelter and rent- geared-to-income housing. In-house programs available at Chrysalis include: Child and Youth Support, Education Outreach, Court Support, Transition Housing Support Services and Outreach groups and other supports. In addition to the shelter, Chrysalis has 10 supportive transitional housing units for vulnerable women and their children.
This is a small way to demonstrate our commitment to making a positive difference in the communities in which we live, work and play. Huntsville has welcomed the IWCF and we are pleased to be able to give back.
