Welcome to Moving Forward’s Stop the Abuse Conference!
Moving Forward launched Stop the Abuse in 2015 to prevent violence against
women (VAW) through education and cross-sector collaboration. We bring together
leaders in human resources, the Ministry, social service agencies, special unit officers,
district school boards, unions and bystanders from across the Greater Toronto Area in
order to work together towards the end of violence.
We are proud to introduce: Sean McFarling, Laura Williams, Safina Lakhani, Ellen
Campbell, Nneka MacGregor, Brent Duguid, David Butt, Linda Skoyles, Sandra
Rupnarain, Cyndy Baskin, Cathy Quinn, and Lilia Shillingford as our expert speakers
introducing the newest knowledge on domestic violence prevention.
We have a jam packed agenda and we are excited to get started!
A special thank you to our supporters: The Co-operators, LiUNA OPDC, TACC
Developments, Pizza Nova, Fontana Primavera Event Centre, Burlington Signs
National, The Lowe-Martin Group, Human Resources Professionals Association and

families experiencing violence!
Sincerely,

COMMUNITIES
BUILDS
When a community is built from the ground up, there is no labour force on the planet, better skilled to get the job done right the
first time. LiUNA members and retirees made a commitment to their careers, which means a commitment to our communities.
A commitment to build the BEST schools, airports, hospitals, office buildings, tunnels, power plants, roads, bridges, low rise and
high rise housing in the country. When the work is done, LiUNA members and retirees continue to live, play and grow in their
communities, with the guarantee of a pension that is also....simply the BEST!
Approaching 100,000 members and retirees across Ontario, LiUNA is committed to building communities throughout the Province.
While our affiliates specialize in representing construction workers, we also represent many other industries including manufacturing,
health care, custodial services, convention and show exhibits.
Well trained. Highly skilled manpower.
That’s our specialty!
