Thanks to the Winnipeg Transit Bus Driver of bus# 102 route #15 (time 3:57 PM) enroute for making an abrupt stop and letting a victim that was fleeing her abusive partner on board no question asked. You’re kindness does not go unnoticed. It’s men like you that make a difference in not being a bystander and taking action on ending violence against women! Picture is of our Board President Catherine Dunn presenting Winnipeg Bus Mr. Allan Kauk with a gift. |
