- ACCIONA SUPPORTS ERNES...
Toronto, DECEMBER 9, 2021.This year, ACCIONA renewed its support of Ernestine’s by providing a $3,000 donation of food for the shelter.
Ernestine’s Women Shelter provides support and a safe place for women and children escaping violence. The shelter assists survivors in rebuilding their lives by providing crisis intervention and support services. The shelter’s work is predicated upon the belief that recovery necessitates addressing the range of challenges faced by survivors of abuse.
ACCIONA, a civil engineering company delivering sustainable infrastructure solutions in Canada since 2001, opened a new office in Toronto a year ago. Its mission is also to support the communities where their projects take place. “Donating to Ernestine’s during food inflation and pandemic challenges raises awareness about the cause Ernestine’s serves.” explained Martin Landry, VP of Business Development North America. “This has been a challenging time for families in need and we hope this encourages other companies to support Ernestine’s.”

The pandemic has accentuated the urgency to support Canadian Women experiencing violence. According to the Canadian Women’s Foundation, every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner. Children who witness violence in the home experience twice the rate of psychiatric disorders as children from non-violent homes, the foundation reported.
