A pebble mosaic monument is going to be created locally to honour survivors of sexual violence.

North Bay is one of four communities hosting pebble mosaic workshops to build the monuments.

Toronto’s community arts non-profit Red Dress Productions is leading the Countdown Public Art Legacy Project.

They’re working with Amelia Rising Sexual Assault Centre locally.

The workshops run:

Thurs Feb 28, 4-8 pm

Fri Mar 1, 12-4 pm

Sat Mar 2, 1-5 pm

101 Worthington Street East

Unit #11 (lower level)

North Bay, Ontario

Officials say the monument will give the community a place to mourn, to celebrate, to reflect, and to take action
